Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm water, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
-
Add the bread flour and salt to the mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise at room temperature for about 4 hours or until doubled in size.
-
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 8 equal portions.
-
Shape each portion into a round ball, then poke a hole in the center with your finger and gently stretch to form a ring. Make sure the hole is about 1 1/2 inches wide.
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bring a large pot of water to a boil.
-
Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, a few at a time, and boil for 1-2 minutes per side.
-
Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and crushed cinnamon cereal.
-
Brush the top of each bagel with the beaten egg white and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the top.
-
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until beautifully golden brown and fragrant.
-
Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite coffee or tea!
