Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup raisins (soaked in warm water)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- Egg wash (optional)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and the activated yeast mixture. Stir until you form a shaggy dough.
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape bagels: Punch down the dough, divide it into eight pieces, roll each into a ball, and poke a hole through the center to form bagels.
- Boil & bake: Boil water mixed with baking soda in a large pot. Boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes on each side before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash if desired and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
