Yes, bagels are leavened, but they are typically leavened through yeast rather than the chemical leavening agents used in many other baked goods. The dough is allowed to rise before shaping, which gives bagels their characteristic texture. After shaping, bagels are often boiled briefly, which helps create their dense and chewy crust.
