Yummy Deliciousness

Today after church I went on a cinnamon sugar cooking spree!  First, I whipped up some cinnamon raisin bagels.
I used the rest of my bread dough that had been fermenting in the fridge.

Roll it flat, sprinkle on cinnamon, sugar, and raisins.  Then roll it up jelly roll style, and  shape it into a ball.

Next you cut off 3 oz. pieces, and roll each little piece into a little ball.

Poke a hole in the middle of each ball, and stretch them out.  Then, let them rise on the counter for about 20 minutes.

Bagels get their nice crust from boiling them prior to baking.  The boiling water for these bagels also has a little sugar in in, so they get an extra nice crust!

After boiling, you set the bagels on a flour dusted towel to let some of the water absorb prior to baking.  Then put them on a greased cookie sheet, put them in the oven, and pour about a cup of water into a broiler pan in the bottom of the oven to provide some steam while cooking.

Hot out of the oven.  Yum!


While the bagels were baking I also made a little cereal snack mix: cinnamon and sugar, craisins, walnuts, butter, and cereal.  Double Yum!

I came out of the kitchen to discover that Scott also is enjoying Laurel's new toy.
