Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bread flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons Honey (for boiling water)
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough starts to come together.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If needed, lightly dust with more flour to prevent sticking.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Using your finger, poke a hole through the center of each ball to form a bagel shape. Stretch the hole slightly, as it will shrink during boiling and baking.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and stir in the honey.
Carefully add 2-3 bagels into the pot at a time and boil for 1 minute on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving.
