Brown Sugar And Cinnamon Bagels - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
2 (1/4 ounce) packages yeast
1 1/2 ounces sugar
1/2 ounce salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 quarts water
1 egg white

Preparation

Mix yeast, sugar and warm water together and let stand 3 minutes.
Mix 2 cups of flour with the salt in a large bowl and add the yeast mixture.
Stir until combined and slowly mix in the rest of the flour and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes, adding additional flour if needed, dough should be firm.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until double.
After rising punch down and divide dough into 12 balls.
Allow to rest for 4 minutes.
Bring 2 quarts of water to boil.
With your thumb, make a hole in each ball of dough and pull open about 2 inches, making a bagel shape.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the shaped dough onto a cookie sheet and cover for 10 minutes.
Lower heat under water for it to be simmering.
Drop 2 or 3 bagels at a time into the water for about 45 seconds, turning each once.
Drain and place on greased baking sheets.
Brush tops with beaten egg white and top with brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed together.
Bake for 35 minutes, turning once for even browning.
Bagels are done when they are golden brown and shiny.
