Description

Recipe for making pumpkin and oat bagels at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 egg white (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt or oats (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve yeast and brown sugar in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree and salt with the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add flour and rolled oats, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a rope and form a bagel shape, pinching the ends together firmly.
  8. Place bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the water.
  11. Boil bagels in batches for 30 seconds per side.
  12. Remove bagels from water and place them back on the baking sheet.
  13. Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the bagels with the wash and sprinkle with coarse salt or oats.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.
  15. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • For a chewier bagel, boil for 1 minute per side instead of 30 seconds.
  • If you do not have pumpkin puree, you can substitute with sweet potato puree.
  • Store cooled bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
