Steps:

• Combine yeast and 1 cup of flour.
• In seperate bowl, combine water, sugar, and salt.
• add to flour mixture.
• stir in raisin, cinnamon, and sugar, if using.
• beat with electric mixture until no lumps remain and mixture is sort of splashy.
• add raisins, if using, and remaining flour.
• mix until dough is tough.
• turn out on floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes.
• cover and let rise 10-15 minutes.
• spray a large cookie sheet.
• Divide the dough into 12 to 24 portions, rolling each into a ball and pulling a hole through in the middle with your fingers.
• Place the bagels on the cookie sheet, cover and let rise in a warm place for at least 20 minutes and no more than 2 hours (or you'll have dough coming out of your ears).
• Meanwhile, put one gallon of water and one tablespoon of sugar in a large pot to boil; reduce to simmering. Cook bagels, 4 or 5 at a time for 4 to 7 minutes (depending on the toughness of the skin you prefer - the longer they boil, the tougher they get), turning once.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake 31 minutes, or until golden brown.
