Blueberry Bagels

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups all purpose unbleached flour

1 1/2 tsps. salt

2 tsps. active dry yeast

3 tbsps. honey

1/2 cup dried blueberries (I have found them by other dried fruits and nuts)

1 1/4 cup warm water

 

Directions:

Step 1: Place your dry ingredients in your mixer bowl and blend on low speed using the dough hook attachment.  Then slowly add in the water and honey until the dough is sticky leaving the side of the bowl clean.

Step 2: Lay out a piece of parchment paper on your counter and lightly spray with canola oil.  Take about a golf ball size of dough, roll into a ball and set on the parchment paper(repeat with the remaining dough, this recipe will make 7-9 bagels).  Let rise for 1 1/2 hours.  Then bring a large pot of water to a boil, once boiling add 1 tbsp. honey and 1 tsp. baking soda.  Place 3-4 bagels carefully into the water and let cook for 2 minutes then flip for another 2 minutes. Remove onto a paper towel.

Step 3: Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees and place the bagels on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.  Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Enjoy!
