bagels and other breads

Question

Hi, 1) Not sure if u know that bagels in Montreal (supposedly famous) are prepared by being being placed in a basin of boiling water for a few seconds just prior to going in the oven. Based on this, I would assume that a bagel bakery here in Montreal that offers "bacon bagels" and other such fancy stuff, would not be OK to get your regular sesame seeds bagels from. Is this a correct assumption? 2) Non kosher certified, non-Jewish owned bakery. Bakes only traditional french bread (flour, water, salt, yeast). However, some of its bread features ham or bacon and other such issurim. I know that the basic bread is not baked within a bread mold, but I am not sure they don't use some sort of non-stick base to put the bread on while it's in the oven. I also don't know whether they cook the fougasse (contains bacon) at the same time in the same oven as the basic bread. I also can't vouch for the cleanliness of their counters, kelim, and ovens. Is buying basic bread (flour, water, salt, yeast) from such a place mutar? 3) Do dried raisins require kosher certification? 4) Does honey require kosher certification?
