Delight in these soft, sweet Cinnamon Sugar Bagels, perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack. They are lightly spiced and coated with a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, vegetable oil, and salt to the yeast mixture; stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball and poke a hole through the center to form a bagel shape.
  7. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil bagels 2 at a time for 1 minute on each side; remove with a slotted spoon and place on the baking sheet.
  8. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl. While bagels are still wet, dip each into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra indulgence, spread cream cheese or butter on warm bagels, or toast lightly before serving to enhance the cinnamon sugar crunch.
