I've never eaten a bagel either and am really interested in trying one! I adore smoked salmon and cream cheese on toast, so no doubt will love these!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

bagels are yum, though different to 'normal' bread - they are kind of chewy

How funny - DH and I were just talking about making bagels the other day.  He was asking me why I'd never made any, and I was explaining that I felt intimidated by the boiling bit.   But your recipe sounds very do-able, so I'll give it a go sometime soon (I hope).  I particularly love raisin and cinnamon bagels, yum.   I limit how much I have, 'cos it's always wheat.  But this way I could have them made with spelt, so that I could eat to my heart's content.

Does anyone have any idea how I'd go about adapting the recipe to be cinnamon and raisin?
As my picture shows, I've suddenly become younger :-)  DD was of the opinion that her picture should be here, not mine!

i'd put the cinnamon in at the start and the raisins in toward the end, just long enough to mix through.

Mine were chewy so it sounds like they were correct. I'm up to make some more this weekend for lunch.  DH is making another of his famous pea and ham soups.  I may split the bagel mix and make some sweet.

Sounds good cookie1 - is that pea and ham in the TMX ?  Didn't think so, oh well never mind.

I made these this morning and absolutely love them.  Great fun to make too - thanks Karen, great posting.
Cooler mornings here now so I left my dough in the TM bowl for the hour and also added my mandatory 2 tspns bread improver  don't know if it helps but everything I use it in is a success so I am not going to leave it out of anything  ;D ;D  Glazed with egg as Karen suggested and took a lovely photo which will probably not make it's way onto the forum from the camera  :P :P

Good on you Judy. I am making ciabatta and then on to the bagels. I am going to split the dough and make half with Cinnamon and craisens and am just debating with myself as to soaking  the craisens first? Wish I had some real fesh cranberries.

Soak them in some alcohol and then drink the liquor that doesn't get absorbed by the fruit.

This recipe was my husband's first foray into TMX land - and he nailed it.  Which shows two things:

1.  TMX is so user friendly;
2.  This is a great and easy recipe!

These bagels were DELIC!!!
