- 160 ml (2/3 cup) lukewarm water
- 20 ml (4 tsp) vegetable oil
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) Délices Érable & Cie goldenrod honey
- 430 ml (1 3/4 cups) flour
- 1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) salt
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) raisins
- 1 egg, beaten

- In a bowl, combine the yeast with the water, oil and 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the honey.

- Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and gradually incorporate the yeast mixture until the dough just comes together.

- Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough ball inside. Cover with a clean, damp tea towel and let rest for 45 minutes in a warm place.
- On a floured surface, divide the dough into six even portions. Roll each portion into a cylinder approximately 1.2 cm (½ in.) in diameter. Slightly overlap the ends and seal with your fingers to form the bagels.
- Place the bagels on a baking sheet, cover with a clean, damp tea towel and let rest another 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add in the remaining honey. Poach bagels three at a time for about 2.5 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Place bagels on one or two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of each bagel with egg and cover with poppy seeds.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack.
