    Blueberry Bagel Recipe Ingredients

    • yeast - helps the bagel dough to rise
    • sugar
    • water
    • flour
    • salt
    • fresh blueberries - add flavor and purple color to bagels

    How to make bagels with blueberries

    To make these blueberry bagels, mix 1 ¼ cup warm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl.

    pouring water into a bowl

    Pour 1 packet of yeast into the bowl and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes until it gets foamy.

    mixing yeast with water


    Mix 3 ½ cups of all purpose flour and 1 ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl.

    bowl of flour

    Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the water and yeast mixture. Mix well.

    pouring yeast water into a bowl of flour

    In a small dish, coat 1 cup blueberries with ¼ cup flour.

    Fold the blueberries into the bagel dough. Knead, by hand or with a stand mixer, for about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise about 1 - 1 ½ hours or until it has doubled in size.

    Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. I usually will weigh them on a food scale to make sure they are equal.

    balls of dough


    Make a hole into the center of each ball of dough. Set the bagels on a baking sheet and let them rise for 30 minutes.

    making bagels


    While the bagels are rising, boil water in a stock pot. When the bagels have finished their last rise, put them in the large pot of water. Flip the bagels after 1 minute and allow them to boil on the other side for 1 minute. If you want extra chewy bagels, allow them to boil for 2 minutes per side.

    Place the bagels back on a greased baking sheet or use parchment paper. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.

    I love eating these bagels fresh from the oven, generously topped with butter or cream cheese. If you want to try and make air fryer blueberry bagels, try this recipe from Fork to Spoon.

    Frequently asked questions

    What do you put on a blueberry bagel?

    Butter and cream cheese make great toppings for blueberry bagels.

    Can I put these homemade bagels in the toaster?

    Yes, they toast up really nicely. I love toasted them and serving them with butter.

    How do I store leftover bagels?

    If you plan to eat the leftover bagels within a few days, simply place in a zip top bag, seal, and leave out. They should last 2 days.

    Can you freeze these blueberry bagels?

    Yes you can. I often make a big batch and freeze the leftovers in a airtight sealed bag. They will last for a few months this way.

    Can I use frozen blueberries with this recipe.

    Yes, you can. They will add some moisture to the dough and your dough will be more purple.
