Servings 12
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, divided
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Place warm water in a large bowl and add yeast, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and salt; mix well.
- Next, add in enough flour to form a soft dough that doesn't stick to the bottom of the bowl.
- You can use a dough hook or your hands, but continue to knead, until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Next, place dough in a bowl coated with oil, and cover the top allowing it to rise in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and shape into 12 balls. Push your thumb through the center to form a 1 inch hole. Strech the dough to form an even ring.
- Cover, place in warm place and let rise again for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Fill a Dutch oven two-thirds full with water and add remaining brown sugar; bringing water to a boil.
- Drop bagels, two at a time, into boiling water. Cook for 1 minute on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well on paper towels.
- Place bagels on baking sheets and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool on wire racks. Makes 1 dozen bagels.
