Instructions (Summary)

  • Activate the Yeast: Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy.

  • Let the Dough Rise: Cover and let it double in size (1-1.5 hours).
  • Shape the Bagels: Divide dough into 8 pieces, shape into rings, and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Boil the Bagels: Boil in water with baking soda for 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Bake: Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  • Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly, then enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Pro Tips

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries (toss frozen ones in flour to prevent bleeding).
  • For a shiny crust, brush with egg wash or plant-based milk.
  • Store in an airtight container or freeze for up to 3 months.
