Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 2 ¼ cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups organic bread flour
  • 1 cup organic rolled oats
  • 1 packet rapid rise yeast (about 2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon organic brown sugar
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ¾ cup organic pumpkin puree, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon homemade pumpkin spice blend

For Boiling and Topping

  • 2 quarts water
  • 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or barley malt syrup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)

Instructions

Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, bread flour, and oats together.
  • In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it foams.
  • Add the almond milk, pumpkin puree, sugars, vanilla extract, sea salt, and pumpkin spice to the flour mixture.
  • Now, pour in the yeast mixture. Mix everything together until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. It should be smooth and elastic.

Roll + Cut Dough

  • After kneading, let the dough rest in a greased bowl, covered with a cloth, for about 1 hour. It should double in size.
  • Once it has risen, punch it down and divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a ball. Then, poke a hole in the center to make a bagel shape. Use your fingers to stretch the hole so it's about 2 inches wide.

Add Bagels to Water Bath

  • In a large pot, boil 2 quarts of water with the maple syrup.
  • Drop 2-3 bagels into the boiling water at a time. Boil them for about 1 minute on each side.
  • Remove them carefully and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush Bagels + Do a Second Rise

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Beat the egg and almond milk together to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture on top of each bagel.
  • Let the bagels rise again for about 15-20 minutes.

Bake the Bagels

  • Place the bagels in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Once done, take them out and let them cool on a wire rack.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better dough rising. Don't skip the boiling step for chewy texture. Experiment with toppings for a unique touch.
