In this tip, we present a different, fun, mathematical way to surprise your friends and family. You will learn to cut a bagel in the shape of a Moebius band, just like a chain, allowing you to present the bagel in a unique and fun way.
Place the knife vertically in the center of the bagel, making sure the tip reaches the bottom. Cut while turning, using the center of the bread as a reference. It is necessary to start with the knife horizontal and finish with the knife vertical.
2
Once you reach the halfway point, place the knife back in a horizontal position, with the tip pointing towards your body.
3
Rotate the bread so that it is upside down. Find where you started cutting the bagel and continue cutting, aiming to form an oval, similar to the previous cut.
4
In the center of the bagel, bend the knife so that it is first vertical and then horizontal.
5
Flip the bread again.
6
Cut the bagel in half, following the outline of the bread. Cut just like in step 1.
7
Flip the bagel and repeat the cut, just like in step 3.
8
Separate the bagel with your hands to form the chain.
9
Done! You have now cut a bagel mathematically in the shape of a Moebius band.
