Kodiak “Power Cakes” Blueberry Bagels

Serves 8
Prep time 1 hour
Cook time 30 minutes
Total time 1 hours, 30 minutes
Meal type Bread, Breakfast
Misc Freezable

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast (1 package)
  • 1 1/4 cup warm water (110-120 degrees)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups Kodiak Cakes Mix
  • 1 cup blueberries (I used fresh, but would have preferred dried)

Optional

  • 30 drops Berry Sweet Leaf Stevia (added for extra sweetness)

Directions

Step 1
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine warm water, yeast, honey, and optional Berry stevia drops. Let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine salt and Kodiak Cakes mix in a separate bowl.
Step 2
With the mixer set to low, SLOWLY add the flour/salt mixture until dough forms into a ball. Additional water may be needed, add 1-2 tablespoons at a time until dough comes together. Let mixer knead the dough on low for 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Roll mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead blueberries into dough. (NOTE- I used fresh blueberries but dried or dehydrated ones would give much better flavor). Once blueberries are evenly distributed, place dough into a large bowl (lightly coated with non stick spray), cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
Step 4
In a large stock pot, boil 6-8 cups of water. While water is heating, divide dough into 8 equal pieces (I used a scale to get them exact). Roll each portion into a ball, poke your finger through the center, and begin to form a circle. You will need to stretch dough out slightly to form a nice circle/bagel shape. Place on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining balls of dough. Let sit 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Once water is boiling, add 2-3 bagels at a time (just ensuring they do not touch). Cook for 1 minute, flip and cook other side for 1 minute. Place each bagel on baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper.
Step 6
Bake bagels for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
