Ingredients
Scale
2 cups sourdough starter
1 cup warm water
4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon baking soda (for boiling)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter and warm water until combined.
Add the bread flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the raisins into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel.
Boil a large pot of water and add baking soda. Boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Place the boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
For a stronger cinnamon flavor, add more cinnamon to the dough or topping.
Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for the best results.
These bagels can be frozen and toasted later for a quick breakfast.
