Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Dough
- 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 Cup Self-rising Flour (plus 1-2 tablespoons for handling)
- ½ Cup Frozen Blueberries (slightly thawed or fresh)
Topping
- 1 Small Egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Use a spatula to mix until a sticky dough forms, free of flour clumps.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold the slightly thawed or fresh blueberries into the dough using your hands, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the dough to reduce stickiness for easier handling.
- Form Dough Ball: Lightly flour a clean cutting board, transfer the dough onto it, and gently fold a few more times until the dough is uniform and not overly sticky.
- Divide Dough: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions for individual bagels.
- Shape Bagels: Roll each portion into a ball. Using your fingers, gently poke a hole through the center and stretch it slightly to create a classic bagel shape.
- Apply Egg Wash: Beat the small egg and brush it generously over each bagel to promote browning and shine during baking.
- Bake: Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the bagels to cool for about 10 minutes before serving to set their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, slightly thaw them to avoid adding excess moisture.
- Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, so no additional leavening agents are needed.
- Brush the bagels thoroughly with egg wash for a beautiful golden crust.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt, though texture may vary.
- Serve warm or toast for extra crispiness.
