Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons lukewarm water (110°F or 43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon molasses (plus several tablespoons for boiling)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 7 cups bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt
  • Cornmeal (for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons bread flour (for dusting)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the yeast by combining 2 cups of lukewarm water with the molasses and sprinkle the yeast on top; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dough by gradually adding bread flour and kosher salt to the yeast mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it rise in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the sugar coating by mixing granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  6. Boil the water mixed with molasses in a large pot.
  7. Punch down the risen dough, divide into 12 pieces, roll into balls, poke a hole in the center, and stretch to form bagels.
  8. Boil each bagel for 30 seconds on each side, then place on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet.
  9. Brush bagels with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over tops.
  10. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
