      8 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water, very warm but not too hot (about 115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Instant Yeast, (Red Star Platinum Yeast preferred)
  • 2 1/2 cups Bread Flour, plus more for flouring work surface
  • 1/16 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Vietnamese cinnamon
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons Yellow Cornmeal

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over top and set aside for 5 minutes until the yeast mixture looks foamy.
  2. Add flour and salt. With mixer on medium speed, knead for 5-7 minutes until dough comes together and is smooth, not sticky. Dough will be thick and dense. If dough is still sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time, being sure not to add too much.
  3. Once dough is smooth and comes together in a round, sprinkle cinnamon and cranberries over dough. Continue needing for 3-5 minutes until evenly incorporated.
  4. Coat a large bowl with a bit of vegetable oil. Form dough into a smooth round and place in prepared bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set to rise at warm room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  5. After dough has risen, punch the dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and make a hole in the middle of each ball using your finger. Gently stretch and shape the dough to form your bagels, pressing in any cranberries that may fall out while shaping the bagels.
  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and place bagels on prepared sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise at warm room temperature for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F and place a large pot of water onto boil. Sprinkle two baking sheets with cornmeal. Set aside.
  8. After 30 minutes, submerge each bagel into the boiling water and boil for 1 minute on each side. Place boiled dough on prepared cornmeal sprinkled baking trays.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for about 20-22 minutes, or until golden, domed, puffed, and done. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
