Instructions
Combine all ingredients except cranberries. Mix by hand or in mixer until well combined. Add dried cranberries.
Knead in mixer with dough hooks or by hand until dough “pushes back,” about 5 minutes. Add a little extra flour or water if needed to make a nice dough. Place in large bowl and cover with a wet dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled–about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch dough down then shape into eight balls. Push thumb through centers to form a 1-in. hole. Stretch and shape dough to form an even ring. Cover and let rest for 15 -30 minutes.
Fill a deep skillet or Dutch oven 2-3 inches deep with water (you’ll need enough for the bagels to float). Bring to a boil, then add the baking soda.
When fizzing stops, drop bagels, a few at a time, into boiling water. Cook for 1 minute; flip over gently and cook 1 minute longer.
Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional oatmeal if desired.
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Place bagels 2 in. apart on prepared pan. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
