This recipe is amazing! It was my first time making bagels, and it worked great. I do make bread sometimes, and so I had an idea of what the dough consistency should be like. From my gatherings 1 cup of raisins was more than enough, and I used the honey method and was kind of generous. Sugar is sweeter than honey, so I thought a little extra wouldn't hurt. Not to mention some always sticks to the spoon. Also it definitely needs like 4 and a half cups of flour, or just under. 4 was a little mushy still. I cooked 3 at a time for 7 minutes boiling, so 28 minutes. I waited to bake until the last batch dried for about 15 minutes using paper towels and a drying rack. I had no idea how dry to get them so I just figured reasonably dry would work. They turned out amazing, and my bagel craze has begun. Thank you for this recipe!

Amazing and easy to make!!
