Cinnamon Crunch Bagels
I made these delicious cinnamon crunch bagels after a trip to Panera Bread. The girls fell in love with their cinnamon crunch bagels and so I had to try to make it myself. I can’t eat out because of my food allergies so it is always a challenge trying to recreate the things that the family loves at home that is safe to eat. These turned out so well. They rose higher than I expected them to but they are great with that sweet crunch on top.

Cinnamon Crunch Bagels
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm Bottled Water about 110 F
4 1/2 to 4 3/4 cups of Organic Flour
2 pkgs of Active Dry Yeast
2 tablespoons Raw Sugar
1 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Raw Sugar (for the water bath)
Topping:
1 cup Raw Sugar
¼ cup Cinnamon
4 to 6 tablespoons Grass-fed Butter (melted)
Directions:
In a mixing bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and the yeast.
Combine warm water, 3 tablespoons sugar and salt. Pour over flour mixture.
Beat at low speed with an electric mixer for about 1/2 a minute, then stir as much of the remaining flour with a spoon as you can.
Turn out on to a lightly floured surface, kneed in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic.
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 12 even portions.
Shape each one into a smooth ball.
Punch a hole in the center of each and pull gently to widen the hole to about 1 1/2 -2 inches. Place on a greased baking sheet.
Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
Broil 5 inches from heat for 3-4 minutes turning once (tops should not turn brown).
Heat a gallon of water to boiling in a large pan, and add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the water. Cook 4-5 bagels at a time in the boiling water for 7 minutes turning once. Remove bagels with a slotted spoon and drain the water.
Once the bagels are all boiled, brush each bagel with butter and then generously sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar topping.
Then place on a cookie sheet and return to the oven for 25-30 minutes at 375.
