4. Remove dough from bowl and finish kneading on counter until dough is uniform and smooth. The dough should be slightly elastic.

At this point, I left the room for a little bit and came back to find my daughter happily eating the raisins, or in her words, “big bugs” out of the dough, and I begin to wonder how many other bugs she’s eaten… I don’t think I want to know.

5. Cut dough in half and roll both halves into long dough logs. Allow dough to rise for 20 minutes.

6. Place hand palm-down on dough, and wrap dough around hand. Once it’s around your hand, pinch it off from the rest of the log. Squeeze the tips together and quickly roll to form the bagel circle. Repeat until both logs have been rolled into circles. To make it easier, I created a quick video to show this action, because I wasn’t quite sure how to put it into words. Compliments to my little 1-year-old, Robyn, for the baby noises in the background while sitting in her high chair eating graham crackers. It was either that or let her hold the camera. Needless
