Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter fed and bubbly
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda for boiling
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, bread flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Add the active sourdough starter and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Gently fold in the raspberries and chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for about 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
  7. Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rest for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the baking soda.
  9. Boil each bagel for about 1 minute on each side, then return them to the baking sheet.
  10. Beat the egg and brush it over the bagels for a shiny finish.
  11. Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter bagel, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dough.
  • Experiment with different nuts or fruits, such as walnuts or blueberries, for unique flavor combinations.
