Cinnamon Sugar Bagels are a delicious homemade treat that’s surprisingly easy to make. These bagels are chewy, slightly sweet, and perfect for breakfast or a snack, especially when paired with your favorite cream cheese spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups very warm water (like hot bathwater)
  • 2 packets active dry yeast (about 4 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 – 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Water for boiling

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    Heat water in the microwave until it’s very warm, like hot bathwater (about 45-60 seconds). Add the yeast and brown sugar, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix the Dough:
    While the yeast is proofing, add 3 1/2 cups of flour and salt to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Stir the flour and salt together.
    Turn the mixer on low and slowly pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then continue mixing for another minute. If the dough is too sticky, add up to another 1/2 cup of flour. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  • Let the Dough Rise:
    Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and transfer the dough to the bowl. Spray the dough with cooking spray, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit until it doubles in size, about one hour.
  • Shape the Bagels:
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal parts, rolling them into balls. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two cookie sheets with Silpat baking mats or spray them with cooking spray. Add honey to the boiling water and stir.
  • Boil the Bagels:
    Pick up each dough ball and press two fingers through the center, creating the bagel hole. Boil each bagel for about 45 seconds, flipping once. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Add Toppings:
    Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the bagels with the egg wash. Stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture over the bagels.
  • Bake the Bagels:
    Bake the bagels for 15-20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until they start to turn golden brown.
  • Serve:
    Serve the bagels warm from the oven, cold, or toasted with your favorite cream cheese spread. Store in an airtight container; they are best eaten within 2 days, but you can freeze them for up to one month.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, you can also sprinkle the bagels with a bit more cinnamon sugar once they’re out of the oven.
  • These bagels can also be enjoyed with butter, jam, or peanut butter.
