Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3.25 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 4 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.

Step 2

Layer the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.

Step 3

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant dry yeast, ensuring it doesn't touch the liquid.

Step 4

Add the raisins to the bread pan, spreading them out evenly over the flour surface.

Step 5

Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start. Allow the machine to knead the dough and complete the rise cycle.

Step 6

Once the dough cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 7

Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center of each ball with your thumb and gently stretch it to form a bagel shape.

Step 8

Cover the shaped bagels with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a gentle simmer in a large pot.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 11

Carefully drop 1-2 bagels into the simmering water and cook for 30 seconds on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Repeat until all bagels have been boiled.

Step 13

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 14

Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with your favorite toppings or spreads!
