Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Ensure the salt doesn't directly contact the yeast, as it can inhibit its effectiveness.
2
Pour in the warm water and vanilla extract. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Once it's manageable, start kneading by hand for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
3
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Chop the blackberries into smaller pieces, then gently fold them into the risen dough. Be careful not to crush them too much, which could make the dough soggy.
5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Use your finger to create a hole in the center of each, then gently stretch it to form a bagel shape.
6
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Boil the bagels one at a time for 30 seconds on each side, then transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Whisk the egg with the milk, and brush the mixture over the tops of the bagels. This will help them bake to a beautiful golden brown.
8
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let them cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with a little honey and garnish with a few extra blackberries, if desired.
