wikipedia is fab for stuff like this.... this is what it had to say...
The bagel (from Yiddish ???? beygl) is a bread product traditionally made of yeasted wheat dough in the form of a roughly hand-sized ring which is boiled in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked onto the outer crust with the most traditional being poppy or sesame seeds.

INGREDIENTS OF MAKING THEM AND THEY ORIGINATE FROM AMERICAN /JEWISH CULTURE
When a seagull glies over the bay it turns into a bagel.
Really good bakeries. It's basically bread dough first shaped and boiled then proofed and baked.
You could take the same amount of dough to start and end up with two hugely different sized bagels based on how long you proof the dough. (let it rise in a humidity chamber called a proofer used by those in the commercial bakery business)
You can also proof them at home in a warm oven if you want to make them yorself from scratch but it's pretty labor intensive and less expensive usually to just buy them already made.
Bagel history
There is some debate amongst historians about the origin of bagels. There are numerous etiologies of the word bagel. In Yiddish, it was beygel, from the Middle High German bouc and Old High German boug, both meaning a ring or bracelet. Another possibly origin is from the German word bügel, for a round loaf of bread. Some historians credit a Viennese baker for creating the bagel to commemorate the victory of Polish King Jan III Sobieski over the Turks in 1683. The bread was formed into the shape of a buegel or stirrup, because the liberated Austrians had clung too the king's stirrups as he rode by. Author Leo Rosten notes in The Joys of Yiddish that the first printed mention of the word bagel is in the Community Regulations of Cracow for 1610, which stated that the item was given as a gift to women in childbirth. Some cultures regard the circular shape as the continuous life cycle and good luck.
The art of bagel-making used to be a closely-guarded secret. The International Beigel Bakers' Union was founded in New York City in 1907 (now disbanded), with the regulations only permitting sons of members as apprentices. In 1927, Polish baker Harry Lender came to New Haven, Connecticut, USA, and founded the first bagel factory outside New York City. His company is credited with being the nation's first frozen bagel manufacturer and the first to put bagels in supermarkets, spreading baglemania to the masses.
