Cinnamon Raisin Bagels Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes.
• Drain and pat dry.
• Toss with cinnamon and sugar, then place in machine with other ingredients.
• Remove dough from the machine after the first knead- approximately 20- 30 minutes.
• Place dough on floured surface.
• Divide into 8 parts.
• Form balls, gently press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.
• While bagels rise, bring 3 quarts water and 1 TBS sugar to a rapid boil in a large sauce pan.
• Drop test dough (see first success hint).
• Using slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water.
• Boil on each side for 1 1/2 minutes.
• Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with egg wash.
• Bake at 400°F on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden brown- approximately 15 minutes.
• Bagel Success Hints: When forming bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls of dough.
• When bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water.
• Dough should pop to the top right away.
• When this happens, it is time to boil the bagels.
• A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be substituted for the egg wash.
• To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices.
• Brush with butter or margarine on one side.
• Lay (butter side up) on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the honey, yeast, and 1 1/4 cup warm water. Stir to dissolve and let sit for 5 minutes or until the surface is covered with foam.
• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour and the salt. Stir to combine. Add the frothy yeast water and stir well until everything is evenly mixed. Continue adding flour a 1/2 cup at a time until it is too hard to stir by hand (this will probably bring you to a total of 3 cups).
• Turn the dough out on to a well-floured surface. Continue adding flour a little bit at a time until you have reached a total of 3 1/2 - 4 cups, depending on the humidity. Stop adding flour when it becomes fairly stiff but still pliable enough to knead. Knead for 8 minutes.
• After kneading, flatted the dough slightly. Add the cinnamon and raisins to the center. Fold the dough over and knead a few more times until the raisins are distributed through the dough and the cinnamon has given the dough a swirly appearance.
• Form the dough into a ball, cover loosely, and let it rise until double (about 45 minutes). Punch the dough down, form it into a log, and cut it into 10 pieces. Form each piece into a ball by pulling the dough back and under itself. Pinch it in the center to make a hole and carefully stretch the hole until it is a couple of inches across (make this hole about 3x larger than you think it should be - the bagels will puff!). Place the formed bagels on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and cornmeal or cooking spray. Let rise until doubled (about 45 minutes).
• Preheat your broiler near the end of the rise time. Put a large of water on to boil. Place the tray of bagels under the broiler for 1 minute. Pull the bagels out, carefully turn them over, and place them back in to broil on the second side. You don't want to brown the bagels, just make them slightly dull on the surface.
• Turn the oven to 375°F Drop the bagels into the boiling water a few at a time. Boil the bagels for one minute, flip them over, and boil for another minute on the opposite side. Remove from the water and allow to drain on a wire cooling rack for about 5 minutes.
• If you want to add toppings, do it now - brush the surface with a lightly beaten egg and then add topping.
• Place bagels on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes until the surface is golden brown.

Steps:

• Add all the ingredients in order given except the raisins.
• Add raisins in on the "add in" beep.
• Bake on "sweet bread" setting.

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small sauce pan on the stove until it just starts to bubble, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Let cool until lukewarm, about 120-125 degrees.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside until yeast is frothy, about 10 minutes or so (make sure your water is at the correct temperature or the yeast won't activate.) Then mix in eggs, sugar, butter salt and raisins (stir in the cooled milk slowly so you don't cook the eggs.) Add the flour gradually to make a stiff dough.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
• Place in a large, buttered, mixing bowl and turn to grease the surface of the dough.
• Cover with a warm, damp cloth and let rise (I like to let my bread rise in the oven with the light on. It has just the right amount of heat and keeps the bread out of drafts.) Allow to rise until doubled, usually about 1 1/2 hours.
• Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle 1/2 inch thick.
• Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons milk and rub all over the dough with your hands.
• Mix together 1 cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons cinnamon and sprinkle mixture evenly on top of the moistened dough.
• Roll up tightly (the long way).
• The roll should be about 3 inches in diameter.
• Cut into thirds, and tuck under ends and pinch bottom together.
• Place loaves into well greased (you can use Crisco or butter for this) 9 x 5 inch pans and lightly grease tops of loaves.
• Let rise in warm place, uncovered, again for about an hour.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned and sound hollow when tapped.
• Remove from oven and let cool on rack.
• Take melted butter and spread over tops of loaves.
• After about 20 minutes, lay loaves on their sides and remove from pans.
• Allow to cool before slicing.

Steps:

• Place water, salt, sugar, flour and yeast in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough setting.
• When cycle is complete, let dough rest on a lightly floured surface. Meanwhile, in a large pot bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar.
• Cut dough into 9 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a small ball. Flatten balls. Poke a hole in the middle of each with your thumb. Twirl the dough on your finger or thumb to enlarge the hole, and to even out the dough around the hole. Cover bagels with a clean cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle an ungreased baking sheet with cornmeal. Carefully transfer bagels to boiling water. Boil for 1 minute, turning half way through. Drain briefly on clean towel. Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet. Glaze tops with egg white, and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until well browned.
