Dry Bagelen Bread

**Dry Bagelen Bread** is one of Indonesia's traditional snacks in the form of bread with a crispy texture and sweet taste. Dry bagelen is made from bread that is baked until dry and crispy, usually smeared with butter or margarine, and sprinkled with sugar which gives a distinctive sweet taste. The color tends to be yellowish with a slightly shiny surface due to the layers of butter and sugar.

This bread has a unique taste—a combination of the savory taste of butter and the sweetness of sugar. Because the baking process makes it dry and long-lasting, dry bagelen bread is suitable as a snack to be enjoyed with tea or coffee. Its shape, which is usually flat or semicircular, makes it easy to carry and serve on various occasions. Dry bagelen is often used as a typical souvenir from various regions in Indonesia.
