Ingredients
-
1¼ cups warm water (not hot)
-
1 tsp sugar
-
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
-
3½ cups flour (all-purpose or bread flour)
-
¼ cup honey (or substitute sugar/brown sugar)
-
1½ tsp salt
-
1 cup fresh blueberries (thawed if frozen)
-
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
-
Egg wash: 1 egg white + 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
-
Activate Yeast
In a mixer or large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until foamy. -
Mix Dough
Add flour, salt, and honey. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth. -
Fold in Goodies
Gently knead in blueberries and white chocolate chips. If the dough feels too wet, add a tablespoon or two of flour to make it manageable. -
First Rise
Cover and let dough rise for about 45 minutes, until slightly puffed. -
Shape Bagels
Punch down the dough, divide into 8 portions, and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let rest for 15–20 minutes. -
Boil Bath
Preheat oven to 425°F. Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding a little brown sugar for sweetness. One at a time, drop bagels into the boiling water and boil for about 1 minute per side. Return to baking sheet. -
Bake
Brush bagels with egg wash and bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Cool & Serve
Transfer to a rack and cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or cream cheese.
