Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries

For Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (beaten)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Stir in the milk, sourdough starter, and vanilla extract into the dry mix. Mix until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring it is well combined without overworking.
  4. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the dough carefully to avoid crushing them, maintaining their texture and flavor throughout the bagels.
  5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough evenly into 8 portions. Shape each piece into a ball and then create a hole in the center with your finger to form a classic bagel ring shape.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Brush each bagel with the beaten egg wash to achieve a glossy, golden-brown finish.
  7. Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, indicating they are fully cooked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoyed plain or with cream cheese or butter.

Notes

  • Ensure the strawberries are chopped into small pieces to distribute evenly and prevent sogginess.
  • Use a ripe sourdough starter for best flavor and rise.
  • Egg wash is key for a shiny, attractive crust.
  • Allow bagels to cool slightly before slicing to maintain texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving for a fresh taste.
