This copy-cat recipe for Panera's Cinnamon Crunch Bagel is made
healthier with NO butter and uses whole wheat flour, but has ALL the
flavour and crunch!
Total Time: 1:25
Add the warm water and yeast into the bowl of your stand mixer. Stir
with a fork and let stand until the yeast begins to blossom, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the honey, whole wheat pastry flour and cinnamon. Using the
dough hook, knead the mixture on the lowest setting for 1 minute, to
incorporate the flours. Then, scrape the sides of the bowl down and
turn up to the second speed setting and knead for 3 more minutes.
Turn the mixer off and let the dough rest for 5 minutes so that the
flour can begin to absorb the water. Your batter may have a few
lumps, just give it a good stir to break them down.
Once the batter has rested, turn the mixer on to the lowest speed,
and add the bread flour, 1/2 a cup at a time. Knead for 7 minutes,
add in the white chocolate chips, and then knead for 1 minute more to
incorporate them. You can scrape the sides of the bowl or dough hook
down as needed.
Cover the mixer with a kitchen towel and let rise for one hour.
Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down.
Using a very sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll
each piece into a long, thin rope* and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle a baking sheet generously with cornmeal.
Then, loop each rope into a circle, really twisting the ends together
to make sure that they are nice and secure. Repeat with all the
pieces of dough, and place onto the cornmeal covered baking sheet.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest until they rise slightly,
about 10 to 15 minutes.
While the dough rests bring a 4 1/2 litre pot of water to a boil. Add
in the remaining 1 Tbsp of honey and then cover and turn the heat
down to keep your water at a low boil. Preheat your oven to 450F and
line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper
Once the bagels have risen, gently place 2-3 at time into the water,
cook for 50 seconds and gently flip, cooking an additional 50
seconds. Using a slotted spoon, pick up the bagels. and drain any of
the water off. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with
remaining bagels.
While the bagels boil, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar
and cinnamon.
Once all the bagels are done, brush the tops liberally with melted
coconut oil and then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar, rubbing it
into the tops of each bagel. Make sure you use all the sugar, as you
want these nice and crunchy on top.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and eat.
Notes: A slightly easier way to form the bagels is to roll into balls
and use your thumbs to press a hole out of the middle, and gentle
form the hole bigger. However, this tends to lead to flatter bagels.
The cinnamon sugar topping does go soft if left at room temperature
so bagels are best left at room temperature for only 2-3 days, and
toasted before eating. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
