Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (or kefir)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional, for egg wash)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Mix-ins
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and buttermilk until smooth and combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the yogurt mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Adjust the texture by adding a bit more buttermilk if too dry or flour if too sticky.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries to incorporate them evenly without bursting them.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 5 to 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to create the classic bagel shape.
- Apply Egg Wash: Optionally, brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.
- Bake Bagels: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through.
- Broil for Finish: Turn on the broiler and broil the bagels for 2 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and allow the bagels to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- You can substitute gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
- If you prefer not to use egg wash, milk can be brushed on the bagels for a less glossy finish.
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are not available; just fold them in gently to avoid coloring the dough too much.
