The Entz and Outs: Yummy Homemade Breakfast Treat

Most of you know that I don't have the most experience in the kitchen. I never took a huge interest in it before, plus I was super busy at school most days and didn't have time to do much when I came home. I was very blessed to live at home and have my own personal cook! She's a good one!

Now that Mark and I are married, I have been learning tons about cooking and baking and I have started to enjoy it more. This weekend we did a bit of grocery shopping and were a bit disappointed when they (again) didn't have the bagels that Mark likes to eat in the morning for breakfast. I intended on running back to the store to get them later in the week, but it's a bit of a drive to get to there from our house. Rather than make the trek all the way down to the south side of town, I decided to do a bit of research Pinterest style on how to make bagels from scratch. And what do ya know, I found a recipe that included all of the items I already had on hand! That almost never happens:)

The instructions seemed easy enough for me and I decided to take a go at it! The recipe I found is a copycat of the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel from Panera. I've never had it from there, even though it's one of my favorite places to eat, but it sounds delicious. After a little mixing, kneading, rising of the dough, and then baking, the taste test took place. It was a success! I really enjoyed them. Mark came home shortly after I was done and sampled about 4 of them for me. I think he liked them too:)

If you want to try out a great bagel recipe, this is the one for you! I will definitely be making these again. Check out the recipe here! I also pinned a few more on my breakfast board on Pinterest that I would like to try out.

Here are a few pictures of my finished product!
