   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2           cup  raisins -- pre-soaked ***
   1         tablespoon  cinnamon
   1         tablespoon  sugar
   1 1/8           cups  water -- lukewarm
   3               cups  white bread flour
   3 1/3    tablespoons  brown sugar
   1           teaspoon  salt
   3 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast

*** Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes.  Drain and pat 
dry.  Toss with cinnamon and sugar, then place in the machine with 
the rest of the ingredients.

Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer's 
instructions.  Remove the dough from the machine after the first 
knead - approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Place dough on a floured surface.  Divide into 8 parts.  Form balls, 
gently press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.

While bagels rise, bring three quarts of water and one tablespoon of 
sugar to a rapid boil in a large saucepan.  Drop test dough (see hints below).

Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling 
water.  Boil on each side for  1/2 minutes.  Remove and cool on rack 
1 minute, brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.

Bake at 400F on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden 
- approximately 15 minutes.

** Bagel Success Hints
** When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls of dough.  When 
the bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling 
water.  The dough should pop to the top right away.  When this 
happens, it is time to boil the bagels.

** A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the 
bagel may be substituted for the egg wash.

** To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a 
straight line.  Roll sticks in a combination  of sesame and poppy 
seeds with a pinch of garlic powder.  Let sticks rise, boil, and bake 
as described in the above directions.

** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin 
slices.  Bruish with butter or margarine on one side.  Lay (butter 
side up) on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325F for 12-15 
minutes until golden brown and crisp.
