Prepare the Tangzhong: In a small saucepan, whisk together Bread Flour and Water from the Tangzhong group. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms (about 3-5 minutes). Let cool completely.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add oil, salt, Tangzhong, and 1 cup of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long.
Form each rope into a bagel shape, pinching the ends together securely.
Place bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Brown Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine Granulated Sugar and Ground Cinnamon from the Cinnamon Crunch Topping group.
Brush the tops of the bagels with brown butter, then generously sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
While bagels are baking, prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together Powdered Sugar, Milk, Vanilla Extract, and Ground Cinnamon from the Cinnamon Sugar Glaze group until smooth.
Let bagels cool slightly before drizzling with Cinnamon Sugar Glaze. Serve immediately.
