Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. warm water (112 degrees)
2 T dry yeast
3 T. Sugar( i used this amount and feel like you could use a bit more and it wouldn't hurt.)
1 T salt
4 1/4 c. bread flour( i used all purpose)
8 c. water for boiling
1 egg lightly beaten
1 T water
Instructions:
In a small bowl mix together yeast sugar and warm water. Let stand 3 minutes.
In another bowl, mix 2 c. flour with the salt. Add yeast mixture. Stir in remaining flour slowly until combined.
Knead dough 5 minutes.( i used bread machine to knead dough) Dough should be fairly smooth and somewhat firm.
Place dough in greased bowl and let rise in warm spot for 1 hours. until doubled in size.Add the cinnamon and raisins now. Knead just to swirl the cinnamon through.Divide dough int 8 pieces
and form into individual balls. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Bring 2 qts of water to a boil. Make hole in center of each ball and pull open about 2 inches.( making a bagel shape...this isn't that hard people.lol) They should look like this......
Drop a few bagels into the boiling water and cook 45 seconds. turn once.
Repeat till all bagels have been boiled. Place on wire rack to drain. Place on greased cookie sheet(s) and mix together egg and 1 T water. Brush mixture onto top of bagels.( top with additional toppings if desired. I.E...poppy seeds,onions, garlic,sesame seeds)Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes turning once after about 17 minutes.Bagel will be browned.
