Cinnamon Raisin Easy Bagel

Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine flours, baking powder, sugar, sea salt and cinnamon. Use a whisk or fork to mix. Add in Greek Yogurt and mix well to combine using a fork. Mixture will be somewhat crumbly or clumpy. Fold in the raisins and then pull the mixture together into one ball and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. (if it seems a bit dry, add a tsp of water) Knead the dough about 10-15 times and then divide it into 6-8 even pieces. (you can cut into it or just pull it apart, both work fine!) Roll each piece into a thin (about 1 inch or just less in diameter) long rope and then make a circle and join the ends trying to press them together. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the bagels. Whisk the egg for the egg wash in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash all over each bagel, getting every part of the bagel that is showing, including the middle of the bagel. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until browned as desired on the outside. Allow to cool before serving, or heck, eat them warm--yum! Store for several days in an airtight container or freeze. Recipe Notes: What you need to know before making easy bagel recipe: Flour: I used a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flour. I thought I might as well put a bit of whole grain into these for Sam, and he loved them. You could use all white flour if you like instead. The fun of this bagel recipe is feeling like you are a kid again because you get to play play-do. When you roll them out, remember they WILL expand so make the middle hole a little larger than you think it may need to be. Also, try to really connect and incorporate the two pieces you connect or they will bake up to look more like a ‘C’ than an ‘O.’ They will taste the same though! I only added a Tablespoon of sugar. They are not overly sweet and I liked them that way. Add a bit more if you prefer a little more sweetness to your bagels. When using the egg wash, make sure to cover the entire bagel, including the middle and the bottom edges. The egg wash is what makes the outside of the bagel nice and chewy. You don’t want to miss that! Not feeling raisins? No worries! You can add other dried fruit if you like as well. Or omit them if you don’t like them.
