DIY:Soft Cinnamon Raisin bagels (Bread Machine)

Having a bread machine has really been a blessing. Not only am I making all our bread but I am  also making all our bread products. I loved the way these bagels turned out,so I thought I would share the recipe.

Soft Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Ingredients:
2 1/2 tsp rapid rise yeast or bread machine yeast
2 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup pre-soaked raisins  ( I just soak them in hot water for 10 min, then drain)

Egg wash
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Directions:
Place ingredients into bread machine in the order that is recommended by your bread machine. Select the dough setting. Add raisins in before end of last kneading cycle (my machine beeps when ts time). When done remove dough from machine and place on a floured surface.
Divide into 8 equal balls, then use your thumb to make the center of bagel and stretch into a bagel shape. This batch doesn't have holes in the center, because my boyfriend doesn't like to lose butter in the hole!

Let rise on a baking sheet sprinkled with corn meal so they don't stick. It takes about an hour or so for mine to rise up big and fluffy.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Make up egg wash and brush the bagels with it or you can use a little vegetable spray.
Let bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
