At Button & Co. Bagels, a new bagel shop from chef Katie Button in Asheville, N.C., the classic muffaletta sandwich gets reimagined in bagel form. Button’s version is a seeded bagel with mortadella, giardiniera, olive tapenade and Hickory Grove cheese from North Carolina dairy farm Chapel Hill Creamery. All of the bagels are made onsite with the restaurant’s sourdough starter and a blend of high-gluten, organic northern wheat flour as well as single-variety flours from local miller Carolina Ground. The bagels are boiled in sorghum syrup for a unique sheen.
