Tips for Blueberry cream cheese bagel

– When making Blueberry Cream Cheese Bagels, the dough texture is very important. It should feel soft, smooth, and slightly sticky, but not wet or runny. If the dough is too dry, your bagels will turn out hard and dense.

– Blueberries are soft and juicy, so they can easily break while mixing. If you press too hard, the juice will spread and turn your dough purple.

– Boiling bagels before baking may seem strange, but it is one of the most important steps. This process creates the classic chewy texture on the outside while keeping the inside soft.

– Assemble Slice the bagels in half and spread the cream cheese mixture inside. Add extra blueberries or drizzle honey if you like.

How to Make Blueberry cream cheese bagel :

Follow these steps carefully, and you’ll have perfect bagels :

Step 1

First up in a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Slowly add warm water while stirring until a soft dough forms. It should feel slightly sticky but easy to handle.

As you continue gently fold in the blueberries. Be careful not to crush them too much, or your dough will turn purple which is still fun, but messy!

Step 2

Continue on place the dough on a clean surface and knead it for about 8–10 minutes. This helps make the bagels soft and chewy. If it sticks, sprinkle a little flour.
Put the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rest for about 1 hour. It should grow bigger and puff up.

Step 3

Next up divide the dough into equal pieces (about 6–8). Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a ring shape.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Drop each bagel into the water for about 1 minute on each side. This step gives bagels their classic texture.

Step 4

While it bakes place the boiled bagels on a baking tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Prepare the Cream Cheese :
