Author: 
Recipe type: Breakfast, Yeast Breads
Serves: 8
 
Ingredients
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2¼ tsp traditional yeast
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp organic cane sugar
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup white chocolate chunks or chips*
  • 1½ cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp neutral-flavoured vegetable oil
  • 2L boiling water
  • 2 tbsp honey*
  • Cream cheese, for serving*
Instructions
  1. Mix bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast, blueberries, and white chocolate chips together in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook.
  2. With the mixer turned on low, gradually pour in the oil and water and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Turn mixer onto medium or medium-low and knead for 7-10 minutes, until a smooth dough ball forms.
  4. Remove the dough from the hook and lightly oil the surface of the dough ball. Place it back in the bowl, cover it with a tea towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 even pieces.
  7. Knead each piece a few times. To shape, roll each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the middle with your thumb. Stretch the hole until it is about 1½" wide. Place shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Let the bagels rest for 15 minutes.
  8. Bring 2 litres of water to a rolling boil in a pot. Add the honey and stir until dissolved.
  9. Boil each bagel for a total of 1 minute (30 seconds each side). Use a strainer to scoop them out of the pot and allow as much excess water to drip off before placing them back on the same parchment paper.Bake bagels for 20-23 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Best enjoyed the day of with a very generous smear of cream cheese!
