Guild Office Hours: Bagels

March 31 / 4PM - 5PM ET

Join us for the next session of Guild Office Hours, a free virtual series created exclusively for Guild members. In these sessions, we invite industry experts to share their skills and answer your questions about baking and the business behind it. 

This time, we welcome Ethan Marks—Baker and Bagel Specialist—for a deep dive into all things bagels. Ethan will begin with an overview of the bagel‑making process and share his expertise on making sourdough bagels. 

After that, the hour is yours. Bring your questions—big or small—for an open Q&A. Whether you’re curious about ingredients, technique, equipment, or scaling up production, this is your chance to get real‑time guidance from an expert. 

Join us—and bring your questions! 

Ethan Marks is a baker, educator, and consultant specializing in bagel production. As part of the team at Apollo Bagels—known for its sourdough bagels—he helped grow the business from a single retail location to six successful stores across New York and New Jersey.
