It’s got the texture and heft of a bagel, but the sugar coating and jam filling of a doughnut*. For added kick, you can toast it and apply cream cheese.

It would be called either “bagnut” or “doughngel”.

*or chocolate coating and custard filling

Bagels and doughnuts - my two favorite food groups. However this doesn't sound appealing. I'd prefer the light fluffyness of a doughnut without the sugar and with the sourdoughness of a bagel. Regardless, you get a pastry sans hole.

Sorry. This looks like a croissant, but it has the spininess and smell of a fishbone.

You could continue the trend of putting toppings on only half the donut and instead have half the donut be half a bagel!

Or something like that.

Would it be boiled/baked or fried?

<homer>Mmmm.... bagnut</homer>

Cedar, I think it would be boiled/baked in the style of a bagel, since that seems to be what gives a bagel its crusty-chewiness.

That and a lack of leavening. At least, calorically, they'd be a good match.

Have a croissand-wich. Or would it be sand-ssant?

Sounds delish!!!!! Really! If these ever become real, you've got yourself a taster

I want one of these.

Sounds like something my wife would try to get me to eat. But she'd fill it with spinach. I'm not going there. I wanna bagel made out of meat, and I don't want any damn sugar on it. There!

Sorry about the '-'. It's probably a good idea and all, but I haven't seen a good bagel in about a year, or a good doughnut since Krispy-Kreme closed. If the real thing were an option, the combination might seem more appealing.

Mmmm...spinach.

[-] eww eww eww eww

(I enjoy both but not at the same time)

[Worldgineer] sourdough donuts exist (and are quite yummy).
