Blueberry Bagels #BreadBakers

February 10, 2015 by Sophie 36 Comments

Hey guysss. It’s bagel time!

IMG_3213 This month we’re all making bagels in the Bread Bakers blogging group. Who doesn’t love bagels?

IMG_3216 These guys are dotted with some beautiful organic blueberries that I had stowed away in my freezer from the summer. I’ve been on a real fruit kick this week (mostly frozen in smoothies because it’s hard to get good fresh fruit at this time of year). So I figured some fruity bagels would be perfect.

IMG_3225 We’ve been having such nice weather here in the Bay Area (up until this weekend where we had a much needed huuuge storm) that it has felt like Spring already. I love the winter (so sparse in California), so I’m hoping for some more cold and rain!

IMG_3207 With my classes in the morning, these bagels are the perfect breakfast for me to take on the go.

IMG_3220 I just had my last bread class on Saturday! That means just four more specialty baking classes to go. Whaaat?

IMG_3209 I can’t believe that I’ll be done with my baking certificate in May! Eeep. Then it’ll be time to go out into the real world, start working in bakeries again! So excited. 😀

Ingredients: (Recipe adapted from Heather’s French Press)

1 package active dry yeast
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water
3 1/2 cups bread flour (may need more
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup blueberries (tossed in 1/4 cup flour)

In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the yeast, sugar and water. Mix together and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes for the yeast to wake up. Then add in the bread flour and salt, and mix with a dough hook until a shaggy ball forms. If it seems like the dough is too wet, feel free to add a little more flour at a time while mixing until it comes together (would not recommend more than 1/2 cup extra). Add in the blueberries and mix until the dough becomes smooth and shiny.

Cover with a towel, and let proof for an hour and a half until doubled in size. Divide the dough evenly (I got 9 portions at 4 oz each) and shape each into an even ball. Press your finger into the middle and stretch it out to create a hole. Let rest for 30 minutes. Re-stretch the bagel holes again.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil 3 bagels at a time, for 4 minutes (2 min on each side). Then place on a sheet pan lined with parchment and dusted with semolina. Bake for 20 minutes until nicely golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.

IMG_3204 And there you go. Easy recipe to throw together on a Sunday for the week’s breakfasts.

IMG_3227 I just love how beautiful and purple-y blue they are!

IMG_3235 Annnd they’re so delicious with blueberry jam! YUM.

    Ah, reshape the holes again. I totally missed that step. You see, all that education is paying off! Like everything you bake, Sophie, these bagels are just perfect.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever actually had a blueberry bagel. Yours look really wonderful, I’m impressed with how well the blueberries stayed together.

    It is so nice when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. May will be here before you know it and if these bagels are any indication you are going to be very successful.

    No sure if there is an updated version of the recipe, but it took never got that smooth dough form, I tried adding a little bit of flour at a time and it took a lot more than the recipe states for it to get to that desired texture.

      Hi Sofia! Sorry you had some trouble with the recipe. It has been a while since I’ve visited this one, but I will make a note in the instructions that it may require more flour to come together. Thank you for your comment!
