• Pour all ingredients (except raisins) into the bread machine in the order listed in the ingredients list, then set the bread machine to “dough” setting.
• Let the machine run for about 10 minutes, then add raisins and let the cycle continue.
• Once complete, lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Shape the dough by lightly flattening each piece with the palm of your hand. Then, using your middle finger and thumb on the top and bottom of the disc, create a hole. Stretch the hold to be a little bigger than you think it needs to be, as it will shrink during boiling and baking.
• Allow shaped bagels to rise for 15 minutes.

Boiling

• In a wide pot, add 2 Tbs sugar to 2 quarts of water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Boil bagels for 1 minute each (30 seconds on each side). You can boil multiple bagels at a time as long as they do not overlap.
• Lay boiled bagels on a greased, but unlined baking sheet.

Baking

• Just before baking, brush with an egg wash.
• Bake at 425℉ for 15 minutes.
• Once golden brown, remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack right away. Allow at least 20 minutes to cool before eating.
