Homemade Blueberry Bagels

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a medium sized baking tray with parchment paper. While the oven preheats, bring a pot of water to a boil.

Step 2

While the oven and water are heating up, mix together all of the bagel ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Mix until the dough begins to take the shape of a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If it’s too dry, add more yogurt.

Step 3

Once the dough is mixed, split the dough into 2 evenly sized pieces and add them to a lightly floured surface. If the dough is sticking to the counter, add more flour to the counter.

Step 4

To shape the dough into bagels, gently roll each piece of dough into a log shape using the palms of your hands. Then pinch the ends of the dough logs together to form circular bagel shapes. Another option is to simply roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball and make a hole in the center using your fingers. Then gently flatten the dough into a bagel.

Step 5

Once the water is boiling, add in 1 tbsp baking soda and/or liquid sweetener and stir to dissolve. Add enough sweetener to give the water a brown tint.

Step 6

Transfer the bagels to the boiling water and allow them to cook for 30 seconds on each side.

Step 7

Once the bagels have been boiled, transfer them to the lined baking tray. I recommend brushing the bagels with an egg wash or with some olive/coconut oil.

Step 8

Bake the bagels in the oven for 30 minutes, until cooked through. Once the bagels have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice your bagels, toast, top, and enjoy!
