Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (for boiling water)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add sugar, salt, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
- Gradually add bread flour, mixing until dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries without crushing them.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a round ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger and stretch to form bagel rings.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add honey. Boil bagels in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a rack.
- Place boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle coarse sugar or lemon zest on top before baking, or toast and spread with cream cheese for a delicious treat.
