Make Your Own Panera-Style Cinnamon-Sugar Crunch Bagels

Kye is back in the kitchen to show you how to make, boil, bake, and top your very own Cinnamon-Sugar Crunch Bagels. This recipe is our best attempt to turn that crispy chewy sweet bagel you know from Panera into a homemade delight. A riff on our 2022 Recipe of the Year, Ultimate Sandwich Bagels, these bagels are topped with a sweet cinnamon mixture before they’re baked, forming a crackly, craggy crust — and filling your kitchen with a cinnamon bun aroma in the process. The addition of Cinnamon Sweet Bits in the dough itself hammers home the cinnamon flavor, while coarse sparkling sugar in the topping contributes to the extra crunchy texture.
