Best 5 Berry Bagel Puffs Recipes

STUFFED EVERYTHING BAGEL PUFFS

Steps:

• For the puffs: Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
• Combine the butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture boils, immediately add all the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon until it is fully incorporated and smooth, about 1 minute. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 30 seconds more.
• Scrape the mixture into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until completely incorporated and the mixture is thick and smooth. Add the everything bagel seasoning and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a medium round pastry tip. Pipe 1-inch-wide by 1-inch-tall rounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each. Dip your finger in water and smooth out any bumps or points on the dough rounds. Sprinkle with more everything bagel seasoning.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue to bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the dough is puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Place the baking sheets on wire racks and let cool completely.
• For the scallion cream cheese: Meanwhile, pulse the scallions in a food processor, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, until finely and evenly chopped. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then continue to pulse until smooth and combined. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round pastry tip and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble.
• To assemble, poke a hole in the bottom of each bagel puff with a wooden skewer or toothpick. Gently insert the pastry tip into each hole and pipe in the scallion cream cheese. Serve immediately.

BLUEBERRY BAGELS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix 1 ¼ cup warm water and 2 tbsp sugar.
• Pour in 1 pack of yeast and allow to rest for 5 minutes and it gets foamy.
• In a bowl,mix 3 ½ cups all purpose flour and 1 ½ tsp salt.
• Make a well in the center and pour the water and yeast mixture.
• Mix well.
• In a small dish, coat 1 cup blueberries with ¼ cup flour.
• Fold the blueberries into the bagel dough.
• Knead, by hand or with a mixer, for about 10 minutes.
• Cover and let rise about 1 - 1 ½ hours or until it has doubled in size.
• Divide the dough into 8 balls.
• Using your thumb, make a hole in the center.
• Set on a baking sheet and let rise for 30 minutes.
• While the bagels are rising, in a stock pot, boil water.
• After their last rise, put the bagel in the boiling water. Flip after 1 minute and allow to boil on the other side for 1 minute. (For extra chewy bagels, allow 2 minutes per side.)
• Put back on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.

BERRY CRISP WITH PLUMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. For the filling: Combine the berries and plums in a mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and toss to coat. If your fruit is super sweet and in season, you may need less sugar. Pile the fruit mixture into four 8-ounce ramekins. For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, oats and salt in a large mixing bowl. Next, cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks, making sure that the butter stays chilled so you end up with a crumbly texture. Mix in the chopped pecans and spread evenly over the fruit. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 25 minutes. Allow the crisp to cool 20 minutes. Serve alongside ginger gelato.

BERRY BAGELS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and warm water.
• Let sit for 5 minutes or until bubbly.
• Put the extract in a bowl with your berries.
• Set aside for later.
• Mix salt in with the 4 to 5 cups of the flour, and:.
• With a strong spoon, mix in.
• When the dough gets stiff, turn it out on the table and kneed for 5 minutes adding flour as needed.
• Place dough in greased bowl (use non-stick cooking spray) and cover with damp cloth.
• Let rise until double in size (1 1/2 to 2 hours or so).
• Punch down dough and divide into 12 balls.
• I placed a spoonful of berries in the center of each ball, folded it closed and pinched it.
• Next, I used my thumb and made a hole in the bagel careful not to let the berries sneak out.
• After shaping bagles, place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to rise for 15 minutes.
• While the bagels are rising, bring to a boil 12 cups of water and one TLB.
• of sugar.
• Boil bagels in batches.
• Boil on each side for a total of 5 minutes (they will look funny and bumpy).
• Take bagels out with slotted spoon and place on paper towel.
• Sprinkle cornmeal on the same parchment paper and arrange bagels.
• Brush each with an egg wash (you could sprinkle with poppy seeds or seseame seeds at this point).
• Bake bagels for 25-28 minutes at 400 degrees or until golden brown all over.

HOMEMADE BAGELS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Stir together 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tablespoon malt syrup in a small bowl; sprinkle the yeast on top. Let soften a minute, then stir. Set aside until foamy or bubbly, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture and 2/3 cup warm water and stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Not all the flour will be mixed in.
• Knead the dough in the bowl to mix in more of the flour, and work the dough into a rough ball in the bowl.
• Knead the dough: Turn out the dough onto a clean surface and begin kneading. As you knead, the dough will become tacky and stick to your fingers, then it should lose its stickiness and form a somewhat smooth ball (this should take 3 to 4 minutes). If the dough is still sticky, lightly dust with flour.
• Once the dough starts to smooth out, continue kneading until it's very satiny and pillowy feeling (this should take 5 to 10 minutes). Rip off a small piece of dough and gently stretch the 4 corners. If it can stretch very thin without tearing, it's ready. If it tears, knead another 2 minutes and test again.
• Transfer the dough to a clean bowl lightly misted with cooking spray, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour. You don't want the dough to over-proof or form bubbles on the surface. Keep an eye on it; the dough can proof quickly in a warm spot.
• Divide the dough: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and mist with cooking spray. Turn out the dough onto a clean surface and press to flatten and deflate the dough, making sure to press out any large air bubbles. Divide into 6 pieces, 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 ounces each.
• Pull the corners of each piece together into the center of the dough, turn over so the seam is on the bottom and roll the dough against the counter into a tight ball with a smooth surface. Do not use any flour or the dough will not stick to itself properly.
• Form the bagels: Form the bagels one at a time: First stick your thumb through the middle of a dough ball, then insert your index finger and gently start to stretch the hole.
• Roll the bagel in a circle around your index fingers to stretch the hole until 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide. If the hole pulls back together, let rest 1 to 2 minutes, then reshape.
• Transfer the bagel to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough balls. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. The bagels will puff slightly.
• Cook the bagels: About 30 minutes before boiling, preheat the oven to 450˚ F and remove the bagels from the refrigerator. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a wide pot. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons malt syrup. Gently add 2 or 3 bagels, rounded-side down, and boil for 2 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and put back on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bagels. It's OK if they deflate a bit as they cool but they should mostly keep their shape. (If they do deflate and wrinkle, they'll still be good - just a little flat.)
• Line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper and dust with cornmeal. Brush the tops and sides of the bagels with the egg white and sprinkle with toppings. Place rounded-side up on the cornmeal-dusted baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
• Bake on the middle oven rack until the bagels are golden brown and crisp, rotating the pan halfway through, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
