Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp honey for boiling water

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl – for mixing and rising dough
  • Small bowl – for activating the yeast
  • Large pot – for boiling bagels
  • Baking sheet – for baking bagels
  • Parchment paper – to line baking sheet
  • Measuring cups and spoons – for accurate measurements
  • Slotted spoon – for removing bagels from boiling water

Method
 

Prepare the yeast mixture:
  1. Add sugar into warm water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast. Leave to stand for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Make the dough:
  1. Add bread flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the yeast mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. On the work surface, knead the dough (flour very lightly if you like) for ten exceptional minutes or until finally smooth and elastic.
Add blueberries:
  1. Fold in blueberries gently, not smashing too much.
First rise:
  1. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
  2. Cover it with plastic wrap.
  3. Let rise until doubled, about an hour.
Shape the bagels:
  1. Remove the air from the risen dough and divide it into eight portions. Roll into balls and poke each with your finger (stretch to a bagel shape).
Boil the bagels:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  2. Boil water in a big pot and pour in 1 tbsp.
  3. Bring the water to a gentle boil, and gently boil each bagel 1-2 minutes a side, removing the bagels with a slotted spoon and placing them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the bagels:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F and bake the bagels for 20 to 25 minutes until browned. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Using Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the dough to prevent extra moisture.
