Asiago & Cinnamon Crunch Bagels

Asiago & Cinnamon Crunch Bagels
Ingredients
2 tsp active dry veast
4 ½ tsp sugar
1¼ ~ warm water
3 ½ c bread flour
1½ tsp salt
1/4 c of honey (or maple syrup)
1 tsp baking soda
Optional Toppings: Egg wash • asiago cheese • cinnamon crunch (1/4 c white, 1/4 c brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon)
Instructions
* In ½ cup of the warm water, pour in the sugar and yeast. Do not stir. After 5 min, stir until sugar dissolves.
* Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture.
* Pour 1/3 c of warm water into the well. Mix and stir in the rest of the water (the scant 1/2 cup that is remaining), as needed.
* Knead the dough for about 10 min until it is smooth.
* Lightly oil a large bowl and turn the dough to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size. Punch the dough down, and let it rest for 10 min.
* Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round.
Repeat
* Coat a finger in flour, and press your finger into the center of each dough ball to form a ring. Stretch the ring to about ⅓ the diameter of the bagel and place on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.
Repeat
* Cover with a damp kitchen towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
* Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup of honey and 1 tsp baking soda to the water. Use a slotted spoon to lower the bagels into the water. Boil as many as you are comfortable with boiling. Let them sit there for 1 minute, and then flip them over to boil for 1 minute.
* Add toppings to your bagels after you take them out of the water. Use an egg wash to get the toppings to stick before baking.
* Transfer them to a baking sheet.
* Bake for 20-25 minutes
