Description
Delight in these homemade blueberry bagels bursting with juicy blueberries, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for a chewier texture)
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 ½ to 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon baking soda (for boiling)
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for added flavor)
- Cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Mix the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually pour in the warm water and combine until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Incorporate the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
- Shape the Bagels: Punch down the dough, divide into 8 pieces, and shape them into bagels.
- Boil the Bagels: Bring water to a boil, add baking soda, and boil bagels for 1-2 minutes per side.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), place boiled bagels on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let bagels cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour or flaxseed meal. Avoid overcrowding the pot when boiling.
