- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp baking soda

Instructions
- Mix together water, salt, dry yeast, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside for around 10 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.1 1/4 cups water, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon
- Gradually add in the flour and mix together thoroughly. Once all of the flour had been added, knead for a couple of minutes, then cover and set aside at room temperature for half an hour.3 1/2 cups flour
- Lightly dust a work surface with some flour. Transfer the dough to the surface and divide it into 6 equal segments. Shape each one into a ball, and arrange them on the floured surface. Cover and set aside for 1 hour.
- Roll each segment out into a long rope, then gradually twist it into a circle to form the shape of a bagel.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a simmer. Add maple syrup and baking soda to the water, stirring until dissolved.2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp baking soda
- Once a foam starts to form on the surface of the water, remove some of it using a spoon, and transfer to a small bowl. This will be used to glaze the bagels.
- Transfer the bagels to the saucepan around 2 at a time, depending on the size. Boil for around 2 minutes on each side, then remove using a slotted spoon and transfer to the baking tray.
- Brush the bagels with some of the foam from the saucepan. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
