Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water about 110°F
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dry active yeast
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar
- 4 1/3 cups bread flour plus more if needed
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup dried blueberries
- Water for boiling bagels
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Combine the warm water, dry active yeast, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, add the bread flour and salt. Stir in the frozen blueberries and dried blueberries.
- Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Knead the dough by hand or using a mixer with a dough hook for about 10 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky. If necessary, add up to 1/4 cup extra flour to bring the dough together.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a tight ball and press your thumb through the center to form a bagel shape.
- Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Bring a pot of water to a boil, and add the honey.
- Boil 2-3 bagels at a time for 30-60 seconds per side. Remove them with a slotted spoon, drain briefly, and return the bagels to the baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes until they are golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
