Bagels started from Poland.
Bagels?  I figured they were French in origin.  Do a lot of bread goods come from Poland?
I am not sure about other breads, but bagels are dense, chewy, and doughy.
Yes, indeed they are.  What are they made with?
It is made from yeasted wheat dough.
Surely there are more ingredients than that within a bagel.
Yes some salt is sprinkled on the surface.
Wow, I would figure there would be some oil or something in the dough, but I guess that is why they are so dense.
Yes dough is malleable and elastic. 
I suppose that elastic is a good word to describe dough.  Are they left to rise, or just baked straight away?
