Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients. In a large bowl, measure out the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, then mix thoroughly.
2
Gently wash the raspberries, then pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Be careful not to crush them, so that the bagels retain whole raspberries.
3
Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and begin kneading the dough. Once it starts to come together, add the melted butter and raspberries. Gently work the raspberries into the dough, being careful not to crush them completely.
4
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Punch down the risen dough, then divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use your finger to make a hole in the center and shape them into bagel shapes.
6
Let the shaped bagels rest for another 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large pot of water and add a little honey.
7
Drop the bagels into the hot water one at a time and cook them for about 30 seconds on each side. This helps them develop a shiny and crispy crust.
8
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and optionally sprinkle with a little sugar or extra raspberry pieces.
9
Bake the bagels for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
10
Let them cool, then serve fresh, either drizzled with honey or with a bit of cream cheese!
