Boil the Bagels
Top and Bake
Swap poppy seeds for sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, coarse sea salt, or dried minced onion.

Add 1/2 cup of raisins and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough during the last few minutes of kneading for cinnamon-raisin bagels.

Bagel dough is meant to be low-hydration and very stiff compared to other bread doughs. This is what creates the dense, chewy interior. It will be a workout for your stand mixer and even more so if kneading by hand, but this texture is correct.
