Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sourdough starter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Stir in the milk, sourdough starter, and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to crush them.
-
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a bagel shape by rolling the dough into a ball and then poking a hole in the center to form a ring.
-
Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bagel with an egg wash (beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the bagels for a golden, shiny finish).
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
-
Let the bagels cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delicious on their own or with a smear of cream cheese or butter.
Notes
-
Other Fruit Options: You can swap strawberries for other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or chopped peaches to create your own fruit-inspired sourdough bagels.
-
Sweet Glaze: For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled bagels.
-
Spices: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for an added layer of flavor that pairs perfectly with the fruit.
