Ingredients

For the blueberry mixture:

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey

For the dough:

  • 1 cup warm water 100 to 110°F
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 and 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the water bath:

  • Enough water to fill a deep pot
  • 2 tablespoons honey

For the egg wash:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • For the whipped honey cinnamon cream cheese schmear:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Cook the blueberries and 1 tablespoon honey in a small skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes until thick and jammy. Set aside to cool.
  • Activate the yeast by mixing the warm water (100 to 110°F) with 2 tablespoons honey. Let it sit until foamy.
  • Stir in the vanilla, then fold in half of the bread flour along with the salt.
  • Slowly add in the rest of the bread flour, then gently fold in the cooled blueberry mixture.
  • Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover and let rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch the dough down and divide into 8 equal balls. Poke a hole in the center of each and gently stretch to shape.
  • Fill a deep pot with water and 2 tablespoons honey and bring to a boil. Boil the bagels for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Brush each boiled bagel with the egg wash.
  • Bake at 425°F for 22 to 26 minutes until golden on the outside and cooked through.
  • Make the schmear by whipping together the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, and cinnamon until smooth and fluffy.
  • Slice your bagels in half, slather on that schmear, and ENJOY.
