Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)
- 4 cups bread flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg white, beaten (for egg wash)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix bread flour, ¼ cup sugar, salt, and 1 tbsp ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 10 minutes.
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and poke a hole through the center to form bagels.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Boil bagels in batches for 1 minute on each side, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix beaten egg white with the remaining cinnamon and sugar topping, then brush over each bagel.
- Bake bagels for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a glaze of cream cheese mixed with honey and cinnamon when serving.
