Name: Bread Machine Cinnamon and Raisin Bagels
Ingredients: 1/2 c Raisins; pre-soaked ***; 1 tb Cinnamon; 1 tb Sugar; 1 1/8 c Water; lukewarm; 3 c White bread flour; 3 1/3 tb Brown sugar; 1 ts Salt; 3 1/4 ts Active dry yeast

Here’s the mistake the legalist makes. He confuses his own ongoing participation in the process of sanctification with God’s finished work in justification. In other words, he thinks that godly practices and good works somehow contribute to his justification. But God’s Word is clear when it says, “Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law…” (Romans 3:20). None of us earn God’s approval and love by our good works. None of us can add to the finished, complete work of Jesus on the cross. He paid the price of our sins. He satisfied God’s wrath… The legalist allows his performance of spiritual duties to become his preoccupation and source of self-righteous pride. In doing so, he unwittingly walks away from the main thing – the gospel.

3	c	White bread flour
3 1/3	tb	Brown sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

*** Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Toss
with cinnamon and sugar, then place in the machine with the rest of the
ingredients.
1. Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer's
instructions. Remove the dough from the machine after the first knead -
approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Place dough on a floured surface. Divide into 8 parts. Form balls,
gently press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel
shape.
3. While bagels rise, bring three quarts of water and one tablespoon of
sugar to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Drop test dough (see hints
below).
4. Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water. Boil
on each side for 1/2 minutes. Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with
egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
5. Bake at 400 on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden -
approximately 15 minutes.
** Bagel Success Hints
** When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls of dough. When the
bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water. The
dough should pop to the top right away. When this happens, it is time to
boil the bagels.
** A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may
be substituted for the egg wash.
** To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a straight
line. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a pinch
of garlic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above
directions.
** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin
slices. Bruish with butter or margarine on one side. Lay (butter side up)
on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes until golden
brown and crisp.
