Copycat Panera Bread Cranberry Walnut Bagelsby Todd Wilbur

From www.topsecretrecipes.com i love these with cream cheese--yummy.

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl.

Make sure the water in warm , not hot , or you might kill the yeast.

Add cranberry juice and oil.

In a another large bowl , combine flour with cranberries , walnuts and salt.

Mix flour into the yeast solution with a large spoon , and then use your hands to bring the dough together.

Continue kneading , adding an additional 1 / 4 cup of flour , a little bit at a time when the dough gets tacky.

Knead for 10 minutes , then form the dough into a ball and store it in a covered bowl for 30 minutes.

After the dough has rested divide it into 6 even portions.

Form the bagels by rolling a portion of dough into ball.

Poke your thumbs through the middle of the dough ball , then stretch the dough out and spin it around your thumbs to create a doughnut shape.

The hole should be no more then an inch across.

Place the formed dough into a baking sheet rubbed with a little oil.

Cover dough with a dish towel and set it in a warm spot for 30 minut.
