Using frozen blueberries and your active sourdough starter, you'll create New York-style chewy bagels that the whole family will love – no commercial yeast required!
– active sourdough starter – water – bread flour – salt
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment, combine all ingredients. Mix on low speed until a stiff dough ball forms.
Transfer the bagel dough to a large mixing bowl greased with a bit of olive oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles - a crucial stage for the best results.
The next morning (or in the afternoon/evening, if you mixed the dough in the morning), portion the dough into 3 equal pieces.
In the center of each ball, use your thumb to create a hole and gently stretch it. Spin it around in a circular motion with your index finger.
Put the shaped bagels onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (sheet pan). Cover them with a clean tea towel and allow them to swell and rise once more.
