Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin Bagels Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

3 cups warm water

3 tablespoons active dry yeast

1 ½ cups honey

3 tablespoons molasses

2 teaspoons cinnamon

9 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups raisins, or to taste

1 tablespoon salt

Methods :

Step 1

Combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl; allow to dissolve, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir honey, molasses, and cinnamon into the yeast; stir gently.

Step 3

Stir flour, raisins, and salt into the bowl with the yeast-honey mixture. Mix well; it will be crumbly. Knead until dough is smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover with a towel and allow dough to rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of water to a low boil.

Step 5

Pinch off a 2-inch ball of dough and roll into a snake. Wrap it around with 4 fingers and gently pinch ends together to form a bagel shape. Repeat with remaining dough to make 25 to 45 bagels.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

Step 7

Place bagels in boiling water; cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the water and place on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
