Do bagels have dairy?

Bagels you buy at the store might. (check the package, they have to say if they have milk in them in big bold letters) But bagels that are made in bakeries and delis normally do NOT have dairy.

Milk or milk ingredients in bread is used to keep it soft and not chewy, bagels are made both commercially and in bakery's with not milk ingredients, Lenders and other types of store bought bagels may use whey which is not technically milk, bakery's use flour, water, salt, sugar malt syrup and no dairy

I usually put butter on them, so yes they have dairy.

most do not have any dairy
