Blueberry Bagels

These fluffy blueberry bagels combine a chewy texture with bursts of sweet fresh blueberries, perfect for a delightful breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for boiling water)
  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add remaining sugar, salt, and 3 cups of flour; mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add the remaining flour, kneading until a smooth, elastic dough forms (about 8–10 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  5. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces; shape each into a ball and poke a hole through the center to form bagels.
  7. Let shaped bagels rest for 15 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water with vegetable oil to a boil.
  9. Boil bagels for 1 minute on each side, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  10. Optionally sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
  11. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try adding a lemon glaze or serving with cream cheese and honey.
