Delightful Cinnamon Sugar Crunch Bagels that blend sweetness and comfort, perfect for brunch or a cozy snack.

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

  1. Combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a bowl. Let it rest until foamy.
  2. Add flour and salt to the mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  4. Divide the risen dough into equal pieces and shape them into balls. Poke a hole in the center and gently stretch it out.
  5. Bring a large pot of water, baking soda, and sugar to a boil. Boil each bagel for 30 seconds on each side, then drain.
  6. Brush the boiled bagels with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly over the tops.
  7. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–20 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. 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.
