Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for boiling water)
- Optional toppings: coarse sugar or blueberries
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- Gradually add warm water and knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms, about 10 minutes.
- Gently fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the dough, being careful not to crush them.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball; poke a hole in the center of each ball and gently stretch to form bagels.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add maple syrup.
- Boil bagels in batches for 1 minute on each side, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optionally sprinkle toppings on bagels before baking.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For a creamier texture, serve with cream cheese or a drizzle of honey. To enhance blueberry flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
