Recipe type: Yeast Bread
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups milk warmed to 110 degrees
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons Cinnamon
  • ½ to 1 cup of raisins
  • Approximately 5 cups of flour
Instructions
  1. Stir warm milk and honey together, and add in the yeast. Let sit for 5-7 minutes and then add in the rest of the ingredients except for the flour, mix well.
  2. Add 3 cups of flour and mix well, slowly add the remaining two cups. Weather and altitude can affect your dough, so you may need to adjust the amount of flour slightly. However, this is a very sticky dough at first, so be careful that you don't add too much flour and end up with tough bagels.
  3. Once flour is added, knead the dough for 10-15 minutes. I use my mixer to do this.
  4. Allow dough to raise in a warm spot for an hour.
  5. Generously oil your workspace and hands before dumping dough out. Work dough over and knead it down again. Roll dough into a long log and slice into 12-16 slices.
  6. Work each slice into a smooth dough ball and then use your fingers to work a hole into them. Let formed bagels sit for a few minutes.
  7. Add no more than 3 bagels at a time to a large pan of gently boiling water.
  8. Allow bagels to boil for 3-4 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
  9. Remove from pan and place on a towel or paper towels for a few minutes. Then place them on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
