Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 cups water (for boiling)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a bowl. Let it rest until foamy.
- Add flour and salt to the mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Divide the risen dough into equal pieces and shape them into balls. Poke a hole in the center and gently stretch it out.
- Bring a large pot of water, baking soda, and sugar to a boil. Boil each bagel for 30 seconds on each side, then drain.
- Brush the boiled bagels with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly over the tops.
- Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with cream cheese, honey butter, or your favorite spread.
Notes
You can make the dough a day in advance and keep it in the fridge. Bagels can be frozen after baking for up to 3 months.
