Print Recipe

These homemade blueberry bagels are soft, slightly chewy, and filled with bursts of sweet-tart blueberry flavor, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, short-cooked into a sauce
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup warm water (between 100–110°F)
  • 1 Tablespoon instant or active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup dried blueberries
  • 3 and 3/4 cups bread flour, plus more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 quarts water for boiling
  • 1/4 cup honey or barley malt syrup
  • Egg wash: 1 egg white beaten with 1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Make the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh or frozen blueberries with half of the sugar and cook until thick.
  2. Activate the yeast. In a mixing bowl, stir the warm water, remaining sugar, and yeast and let it sit until foamy.
  3. Combine ingredients. Add the blueberry sauce, vanilla extract, dried blueberries, bread flour, and salt to the yeast mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. Add flour and knead. Gradually add more flour if dough is sticky and knead until smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise. Place dough in a greased bowl and let it rise in a warm spot for 2 hours.
  6. Shape the bagels. Divide and shape the dough into bagel rounds, letting them rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  7. Boil the bagels. Bring water to a boil and stir in the honey, then boil each bagel for 1 minute per side.
  8. Egg wash and bake. Brush bagels with egg wash and bake at 425°F for 26 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool and serve. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use frozen blueberries if fresh are out of season. Store cooled bagels in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
