Hint of Rye Bread

Cocktail Rye Bread

[Photograph: Donna Currie] I used pumpernickel flour for this recipe, but I know that most stores don't stock a lot of different rye flours, so use whatever rye flour you have on hand, or whatever you can find. I'm usually...

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

The cinnamon raisin bagels I grew up with included a touch of whole wheat, which made them slightly more tender—presumably to offset the inherent chewiness of dried fruit. Aside from providing a heartier flavor to underscore the aromatic cinnamon, whole wheat helps the dough absorb a little more water, so you'll notice the ratios are somewhat different from what you'd see in a batch of plain bagels.
