Cinnamon Bagel Tips<\/h2>

Can you use instant yeast to make these cinnamon bagels? <\/h3>Yes! To use instant yeast in place of active dry yeast, simply skip the step of dissolving the yeast in water, instead adding it directly to your dough with the other dry ingredients. The dough might take a little bit longer to rise fully. Check out more tips for how to use yeast<\/a>.

What can you do if the bagels lost their shape while boiling? <\/h3>Don\u2019t worry\u2014bagels losing their shape while boiling is common. You can just reshape them on the baking sheet if needed. They'll bake up fine. Read our step-by-step instructions for how to make bagels<\/a> (including photos!).

What can you put on a cinnamon bagel? <\/h3>We recommend either salted butter or cream cheese (these are our Test Kitchen's favorite cream cheese brands<\/a>), but you could also do peanut butter, honey or jam.

How do you store cinnamon bagels? <\/h3>Store completely cooled bagels in plastic bags or airtight containers at room temperature. If you're not planning to eat the bagels in a couple of days, you can freeze sliced bagels. They will last about 3 months in the freezer.

I work with yeast a lot. However, I've never attempted bagels. This recipe was so easy and tastes great. I did have a mishap with the topping- I coated the whole bagel in it- which burned the bottoms just a tad. I wonder what they would taste like without the topping. I will try that next time. Great recipe regardless.<\/p>","CommentId":3,"DateRated":"06\/06\/2018 11:22","GUID":"c64314586799445fb16c6aa00a2213ab","MemberId":9473928,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Krista","SubmittedDate":"06\/06\/2018 11:22"},{"Comment":"

First time ever making bagels. These turned out really well and is an easy recipe to follow. I read after that if you boil 2 minutes you get a chewier bagel. I did it at 45 seconds per the recipe- this does yield some chew with a soft interior. Next time will boil a bit longer to see if I might like it even more. The brown sugar in the recipe is divided- didn't realize it until it was too late. Bagels still delish with all the brown sugar in the dough and none in the water (oops).<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"12\/31\/2017 04:18","GUID":"f75a24ebe43a4b74be0c57c4f5dbbde5","MemberId":8679201,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Patty","SubmittedDate":"12\/31\/2017 04:18"},{"Comment":"

The bagels turned out pretty good for my first time . The only reason I say, \"pretty good\", is because they did not turn out very pretty. That was DUE to it being my first time. I did have to add extra flour and note to self, \" do not flatten the dough to much when shaping. Great taste.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2017 21:23","GUID":"0527dd74c7e94d6087b1d5f3dd7e8595","MemberId":4837689,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"marcibanes","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2017 21:23"},{"Comment":"

This was my first time attempting bagels (and I don't even bake with yeast very often) and they were really sticky and didn't really rise for me or get \"golden brown\" when I baked them. They weren't very pretty, but the taste was fantastic. I did add more flour than what the recipe called for due to how sticky it was. I was afraid to add too much flour, but I believe I should have added more! I will keep this recipe, do a little more research and practice on making bagels......and try it again some time!<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"09\/16\/2015 13:09","GUID":"0d4b0b2115d2492ba3fb5442d7d86b6c","MemberId":5204614,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Bcooks","SubmittedDate":"09\/16\/2015 13:09"},{"Comment":"

My first attempt at bagels, and they turned out pretty good! I had to add quite a bit more flour than this recipe called for, and the dough was still very sticky.

These were very good, however I tried to save some time by making the dough in my bread machine. I used 3 cups of flour but the dough could practically be poured out of the bowl. I had to add at least another cup of flour to make it manageable...not exactly what I bargained for. I'm not sure I'll try again, but I'll definitely nix the bread maker!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"09\/03\/2013 17:18","GUID":"C0CB48087C4640A48FFEA177A3CE5EEE","MemberId":861741,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"BrendainPa","SubmittedDate":"09\/03\/2013 17:17"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"08\/15\/2013 10:18","GUID":"b57b000d135e40658dec9e19422fab38","MemberId":7373352,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"linda68","SubmittedDate":"08\/15\/2013 10:18"},{"Comment":"

Very easy to make. I used to purchase mini cinnamon bagels from Sam's Club and they haven't had them in a while. I needed a fix, but didn't want to pay Panera for my cinnamon crunch bagel.<\/p>

Wow, these bagels are fabulous! This was my first time making bagels at home and I am so impressed with how they turned out. The dough has a lovely cinnamon flavor and there is more than enough crunchy topping to go around! I was a little concerned that they'd be tiny little things, but the recipe makes 12 very nice sized bagels. I wouldn't change a thing and will definitely be making these again and again!
