Cinnamon Raisin Bagels
What it is
These are soft, chewy bagels infused with the warm spice of cinnamon and studded with sweet, plump raisins. They are pre-sliced for convenience, making them ready to enjoy straight from the package. The dough is typically boiled before baking, which contributes to their characteristic dense texture and slightly shiny crust. This variety offers a delightful balance of sweet and spiced flavors.
