INGREDIENTS

* 1 1/8 cups water (70 to 80 degrees F)
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
* 3 cups bread flour
* 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
* 3/4 cup dried cranberries
* 1/4 cup chopped pecans

TOPPING:
* 2 tablespoons brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

• Add the first 7 ingredients into a bread machine pan in the order recommended in the manual. Run it on Dough settings, checking every 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water or flour as required. Make sure to add the cranberries and pecans on the last cycle of kneading.
• Invert dough on a floured surface. Cover and leave it for 5 minutes. Make 8 even pieces of balls and press your thumb at the center, forming an inch-sized hole.
• Leave the balls on a lightly floured surface, cover and wait for 5 minutes to double.
• Boil 2 quarts of water in a large saucepan. Drop the bagels one by one and cook for 45 seconds. Cook the other side evenly. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain the bagels. Set over paper towels.
• Sprinkle warm bagels with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. Arrange over a greased baking sheet at 2 inches apart. Set it into the oven to bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees F or until golden brown.
