What it is
These are soft, chewy bagels with a sweet swirl of cinnamon and plump raisins baked throughout. They offer a delightful combination of sweet and spiced flavors in every bite.

How people cook with it
Enjoy these bagels toasted or fresh for a quick and delicious meal. They pair well with a variety of spreads and toppings.
- Toasted with cream cheese
- As a base for French toast
- With butter and jam
- For breakfast sandwiches
To best enjoy, slice the bagel in half horizontally. For a warm and slightly crisp texture, toast the cut sides until golden brown. They can also be enjoyed straight from the package. For a more elaborate preparation, consider using them as the base for a breakfast sandwich, layering with eggs, cheese, or other fillings. They are also excellent for making French toast, soaking up a sweet custard mixture before being pan-fried.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain bagels, these are enhanced with the warm spice of cinnamon and the natural sweetness of raisins, creating a distinct flavor profile. The swirl pattern ensures an even distribution of these additions throughout the dough, offering a consistent taste in every piece.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining bagels in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Ensure they are completely cooled before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
