Combine Ingredients
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yeast, all purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, cream of tartar, brown sugar, and salt.
- Heat the water to the temperature specified by the yeast manufacturer, then add it to the dry ingredients and stir to moisten the flour.
Knead the Dough
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes using a mixer fitted with a dough hook or by hand for 10 to 15 minutes on a lightly floured work surface until very stiff and smooth.
- Sprinkle the work surface generously with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Knead the dough on top to incorporate the mixture and form a swirl.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and set aside to rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Shape the Bagels
- Divide the dough into 8 portions and roll each into a smooth, round ball. Place the balls on a greased cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap misted with cooking spray, and let rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Water Bath
- Prepare the water bath by bringing 4 cups of water to a low boil in a deep pot. Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Boil the Bagels
- Poke a hole through the center of each dough ball, stretching to about 2 inches in diameter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- In batches, carefully transfer the bagels to the simmering water. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, flip, then cook for 1 additional minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet.
Top and Bake
- Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle evenly over the bagels.
- Bake the bagels for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
