   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4               Tbsp  light brown sugar -- divided
   2 1/4            tsp  Active Dry Yeast
   1                cup  warm water -- 110-115F, divided
   3 1/2           cups  bread flour
   1 1/2            tsp  salt
      3/4           tsp  cinnamon
      1/4           cup  maple syrup
   1                tsp  pure vanilla extract
   1                     egg
   2               Tbsp  granulated sugar -- mixed with
   1 1/2            tsp  cinnamon -- for topping
                         Egg wash:
   1                     beaten egg -- +
   1                tsp  water

These fluffy, soft bagels taste just like classic French toast with 
maple, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla flavors.

In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp brown sugar with yeast. Add 1/2 cup 
warm water; stir until yeast dissolves. Let mixture stand 10 minutes 
until foamy.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough 
hook attachment, stir flour, salt, cinnamon and remaining 2 Tbsp 
brown sugar until combined. Add yeast mixture along with 1/4 cup warm 
water, maple syrup, vanilla and 1 egg. Stir until a dough forms.

Knead dough in stand mixer on medium speed 5 minutes, adding just 
enough of remaining 1/4 cup warm water until dough is smooth, elastic 
and only slightly sticky; OR, knead dough by hand on a lightly 
floured surface 10 to 15 minutes, adding just enough of remaining 1/4 
cup warm water until dough is smooth, elastic and only slightly 
sticky. Shape dough into a ball and place in a large bowl. Cover with 
plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled.

Punch down risen dough; let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a large, 
wide pot two-thirds full with water. Heat water to just below a 
simmer. Heat oven to 425F, and line a baking sheet with parchment 
paper or a silicone mat.

Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth 
ball. Use fingers to poke a hole in center of each ball, stretching 
each hole until it is as big as half the diameter of entire bagel (it 
might look too big at first, but it will shrink when you boil/bake 
it). Place bagels on prepared baking sheet. Cover with a damp towel 
or lightly greased plastic wrap and let rest 10 minutes.

Once bagels have rested, use a slotted spoon to lower a few bagels at 
a time into simmering water. Allow bagels to float to top. Leave 
bagels in water 1 to 2 minutes, then flip over and leave in water 
another 1 to 2 minutes (the longer they stay in the water, the 
chewier they become). Remove bagels with slotted spoon and return to 
prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bagels.

Beat remaining egg with 1 Tbsp water, then brush egg wash over tops 
of bagels. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes until bagels are golden brown and baked 
through. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack 
before slicing.

Review: These could not have been more perfect. I followed the recipe 
precisely and the result was very delicious. It's a shame it only makes 8!

Review: I just made this step by step and was delicious! Thanks!
