What is Bialy Roll?
The bialy is similar to a bagel in shape, size and texture; however, the bialy does not have a hole in the center, rather an indent that might be filled with an assortment of herbs, or nothing at all. The texture is bread-like and a bit chewy with a mild wheat flavor. The bialy is a Jewish baked good and delicious with cream cheese, butter or lox.

All- purpose flour is refined, white, lighter in texture and more bland in flavor. There are other varieties of wheat flour with these two being the most common. The flavor is mild and nutty. Wheat flour is used in the making of a huge number of foods across all cuisines. It is used as a binder as well as the basis for breads, baked goods and coating for breaded meats and vegetables.
