how to make Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crunch Bagels

Follow the steps below. Work gently so the blueberries do not break too much into the dough. You can air fry or bake these bagels.

Ingredients :

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon light brown sugar 
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (any fat percentage); I like Fage
• 1/3 cup frozen wild blueberries 
• 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter 
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon turbinado or granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 large egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)

Directions :

1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. 
2. Gently fold together yogurt and blueberries in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture and fold and press with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms (it will look dry). 
3. Transfer to a work surface and knead until smooth. (Dust with flour if it gets too sticky). Divide into 4 pieces. Let rest while you make the topping. 
4. For the topping: melt the butter in the now-empty yogurt bowl. Add the flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Stir until clumpy. 
5. Roll the dough balls into 6 to 8-inch ropes and bring ends together. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with topping.
6. Air fry at 325°F in a greased, preheated air fryer until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (Alternatively, bake in the upper third of a 375°F oven on greased parchment for 25 to 30 minutes). 
7. Let cool 15 minutes before slicing. (This prevents the insides from being too soft). Enjoy as-is or toast halves before spreading with cream cheese or butter.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Slice and spread with cream cheese, butter, or jam. Toasting brings out the crunch and warms the blueberries.

how to store Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crunch Bagels

Let bagels cool fully. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer keep, freeze bagels in a zip bag for up to 1 month. Thaw and toast before eating.

tips to make Greek Yogurt Blueberry Crunch Bagels

• Use frozen wild blueberries to avoid extra moisture from fresh berries.
• Handle dough gently to keep the berries whole.
• Dust your surface lightly with flour to stop sticking.
• Let the bagels cool 15 minutes before slicing to keep the center from being too soft.
• If using an oven, check at 25 minutes; ovens vary.

variation (if any)

• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for fresh flavor.
• Replace blueberries with chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
• Swap turbinado sugar for coarse sanding sugar for a bigger crunch.

FAQs

Q: Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?
A: Yes, but dry them well and add them gently. Fresh berries add more juice and can make the dough softer.

Q: Can I skip the egg wash?
A: Yes. The egg wash helps the topping stick and gives a golden color. You can brush with milk instead for a lighter finish.

Q: Can I make more than four bagels?
A: Yes. Double the ingredients to make eight bagels. Adjust air fry or bake time slightly if needed.

Q: Will these bagels be dense?
A: They are softer and denser than yeast bagels because they use baking powder and yogurt. They are tender and cake-like, not chewy like traditional bagels.
