Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Baking soda
- 8 cups Water (for boiling)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add the all-purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined, then knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball, then use your thumb to create a hole in the center, stretching it slightly to form a bagel shape.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda to the boiling water and stir.
Boil the bagels in batches, 1-2 at a time, for 1 minute on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the boiled bagels with melted butter.
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the buttered bagels generously.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the bagels cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon and sugar bagels!
