Sourdough Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Sourdough Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

These sourdough cinnamon raisin bagels are soft, chewy, and have swirls of cinnamon and plump, juicy raisins throughout. They’re made with a blend of organic bread flour and stone milled whole wheat flour, and naturally fermented with sourdough culture so they’re gut healthy and nutrient-rich. Other than some raw honey, this recipe doesn’t call for any added sugar.

This is one of my all time favorite bagel recipes. There’s literally nothing better than a fresh baked cinnamon raisin bagel, still warm out of the oven, topped with melty grass-fed butter or a generous layer of cream cheese. It’s the perfect sweet and savory combo for breakfast, and these bagels have just the right amount of cinnamon flavor, juicy raisins, and a subtle hint of sweetness.

My favorite ways to enjoy a Sourdough Cinnamon Raisin bagel:

1. Cream cheese: Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on your matcha bagel for a creamy and tangy contrast to the earthy matcha flavor. I’m obsessed with Nancys!!
2. Breakfast Sandwich: Slice the bagel in half and top it with some scrambled eggs, a slice of pastured bacon, and mashed avo. I swear it goes so well with the sweet juicy raisins!
3. Healthy French Toast: Cut the bagel into thick slices, and dip them in a mixture of eggs, your fave milk, and cinnamon. Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries!
4. Upgraded PB&J: I like to add a generous layer of almond butter, some homemade chia strawberry chia jam, and a light sprinkle of hemp seeds. Yum!
5. Plain with Butter: Sometimes the simplest things are the best.

✨Health Benefits of Sourdough Bagels✨

Sourdough bagels are unlike all other types of bagels because they go through a long and slow natural fermentation with wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This ancient, 6,000-year-old tradition has remarkable health benefits. Sourdough fermentation makes wheat and other grains easy to digest and more nutritious because it degrades gluten, removes anti-nutrients, and breaks down FODMAPs and starches. Sourdough bagels are chock full of fiber, prebiotics, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it an all-around microbiome superfood.

What Makes These Sourdough Cinnamon Raisin Bagels Healthy?

These bagels are made with simple, clean ingredients, and the recipe also calls for a long and slow natural fermentation with sourdough culture which enhances nutrition and supports gut health.

Sourdough Fermentation

Sourdough is an ancient, natural fermentation process that uses a mixed culture of wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (the same bacteria used to make sauerkraut, kefir, and kimchi) to ferment grains. This traditional practice has remarkable health benefits:

1. Increased Nutrient Absorption: By degrading phytic acid, sourdough fermentation increases the bioavailability of B vitamins and minerals, like iron, zinc, and magnesium so those nutrients are better absorbed by your body.
2. Easy to Digest: Lactic acid bacteria neutralize plant compounds like anti-nutrients (phytic acid), lectins, gluten, and FODMAPs, making sourdough easy to digest, gut healthy, and anti-inflammatory.
3. Boosts Prebiotics and Antioxidants: Natural fermentation increases the antioxidant content of bread and creates more prebiotic fiber, a type of indigestible plant fiber that provides food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut and helps support a healthy and diverse microbiome.
4. Low Glycemic: Sourdough fermentation lowers the glycemic index of bread, which helps stabilize blood sugar keeps you feeling energized without a crash.
5. Reduced gluten sensitivity: The long fermentation process used to make sourdough bread can help to break down the gluten in the bread, making it easier to digest and reducing symptoms of gluten sensitivity.
6. Increased Energy: Sourdough bread can be considered energizing because it provides a sustained source of energy due to the slow-release of carbohydrates. It is also nutrient-dense, with increased bioavailability of certain nutrients that are essential for energy production in the body. Additionally, sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index compared to bread made with commercial yeast, which prevents blood sugar spikes and crashes that can lead to feelings of lethargy. Overall, the natural fermentation process used to make sourdough bread contributes to its energizing properties.
7. Supports a healthy gut microbiome: The fermentation process promotes a healthy gut microbiome and improves overall digestive health.

Organic High-Quality Flour

I use a blend of organic (stone milled) whole wheat and organic bread flour because it provides the perfect balance of structure, flavor, and nutrition.

Organic Raisins

I used Whole Foods 365 organic raisins and soaked them in water to make them plump and juicy.

Organic Cinnamon

I used Red Ape’s organic cinnamon.

My secret to extra juicy raisins

Before adding your raisins to the dough, soak them in water for 30 minutes – 3 hours. They’ll absorb water and get extra plump and juicy. Then strain over a mesh strainer and add to the dough. This step is SO worth it.

Sourdough Bagel Baking Schedule

This is what a typical bagel-making schedule looks like for me.

P.S. Temperature is one of the single most important factors that affect fermentation. The warmer your place, the faster your dough will ferment. So please use my schedule as simply a jumping-off point for your own.

Prepare sourdough starter

Either feed your sourdough starter the night before to prepare or if your sourdough starter is in the fridge be sure to feed it every 12 hours, 3 days before you plan to bake.

Day One

• 10 AM – Mix bagel dough, cover and let sit at room temp until it doubles in size (6-8 hours)
• 6 PM – Place dough covered in the fridge for an overnight fermentation (10+ hours). This step is to develop flavor and nutrition… it’s optional, but highly recommended.

Day two

• 8 AM – Divide bagel dough, shape and cover with tea towel. Let it rise for 2 hours.
• 10 AM – Prepare boiling water and preheat oven.
• 10:15 AM – Boil bagels, add toppings and bake.

Ingredients for Sourdough Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Here’s what you’ll need to make these sourdough cinnamon raisins bagels at home.

7 CLEAN INGREDIENTS

• Bread Flour: A high-protein flour is needed for bagel making. You can use a white or whole wheat bread flour. King Arthur has a great bread flour that is usually widely available. I use this stone milled partially sifted whole wheat flour. I recommend using a blend of white bread flour and whole wheat flour to get the perfect balance of structure, texture, flavor, and nutrition.
• Water: Preferably warm water is best! Warmer water helps kickstart fermentation.
• Sourdough Starter: Be sure you are using active sourdough starter (not discard).
• Cinnamon: I used Red Ape’s organic cinnamon.
• Raisins: I used Whole Foods 365 organic raisins and soaked them in water to make them plump and juicy.
• Sea Salt: Enhances flavor (and nutrition) by slowing fermentation.
• Raw Honey: We don’t add much, but it’s just enough to give the bagels a super shiny brown crust and a little bit of extra flavor.

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS

• Olive Oil: Used to grease the bowl or plate where are bagel dough will rise.
• Eggs: You’ll brush your bagels with an egg wash to give it a beautiful golden color.
• Cream cheese: I used my favorite probiotic cream cheese from Nancy’s.
• Raw Honey: For the honey walnut cream cheese!
• Walnuts: I used these sprouted walnuts.

Equipment Needed for Sourdough Bagels

• Dough Mixer or Mixing Bowl (by hand): You can prepare the bagel dough with a mixer or by hand, either one works.
• Dough Scraper: Used for dividing our dough.
• Baking Pan
• Baking Scale: Ideal for accurately measuring ingredients and weighing dough balls after dividing to ensure they are similar in size.

Tips for Making Sourdough Bagels

HOW DO I MAKE MY RAISINS EXTRA PLUMPY?

Soak the raisins in water for at least 30 minutes, ideally a few hours, prior to adding them to the dough. They’ll absorb some of the water and you’ll get some plump, juicy raisins.

WHAT TYPE OF FLOUR SHOULD I USE?

A high-protein flour is needed for bagel making if you want to achieve the classic bagel look and texture. You can use a white or whole wheat bread flour. King Arthur has a great bread flour that is usually widely available. I recommend using white bread flour as your base, and adding in 10% whole wheat flour. If you’d prefer to make a whole-grain bagel you can definitely do that, just refer to the hydration notes below so you can adjust the hydration level appropriately.

Do I have to boil these bagels?

Yes, I strongly recommend boiling the bagels before baking because it helps achieve the classic chewy texture we want in bagels.

Do I need barley malt to make bagels? If so, which type?

You often hear bagel purists say that you need to use either barley malt syrup or diastatic barley malt powder. I don’t use either, but I’m also not a bagel purist. My bagels are always sourdough and never use commercial yeast, so they’re probably not eligible for “true bagel” status anyway.

Barley malt syrup is used to soften the dough and make the crust extra brown and shiny. I just use raw honey (cause that’s what I have at home) and it works great!

Diastatic malt powder may sound like an obscure and processed ingredient, but it’s actually just sprouted whole grain barley flour that’s been dried and ground into a powder. It’s unfortunate that it doesn’t have a better PR team because it’s actually a very wholesome ingredient.

That said, I haven’t found it to be necessary in my bagel recipes. One of the main benefits of malt powder is its extra enzymatic activity, which can help soften the dough and develop a rich, dark brown crust. However, sourdough fermentation can also achieve these results, so I don’t usually bother adding in malt powder.
