Add the warm water, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Layer the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant dry yeast, ensuring it doesn't touch the liquid.
Add the raisins to the bread pan, spreading them out evenly over the flour surface.
Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start. Allow the machine to knead the dough and complete the rise cycle.
Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center of each ball with your thumb and gently stretch it to form a bagel shape.
Cover the shaped bagels with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a gentle simmer in a large pot.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully drop 1-2 bagels into the simmering water and cook for 30 seconds on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat until all bagels have been boiled.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings or spreads!
