Fresh, plump, chewy, and infused with pumpkin, these marbled pumpkin spice bagels feature swirls of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, making them the best homemade fall-inspired bagel recipe.
1: Mix all dough ingredients together (except for the cinnamon paste) and knead until smooth.
2: Incorporate the cinnamon paste but don’t over knead - this will give you the marbling effect.
3: Cover and proof the dough for 1-2hrs or until almost doubled in size.
4: Divide the dough into 6 equal sections and shape into balls.
5: Cover and let them rest for 15 mins.
6: Shape the bagels as shown in the reel. Make sure to seal the edges well.
7: Place the bagels onto individual sheets of parchment paper, cover, and proof for 30mins-1hr or until they’re noticeably puffy.
8: When the bagels are almost done proofing, preheat your oven to 425F and bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer over the stove.
9: Add a spoonful of barley malt syrup and 1 tsp of baking soda.
10: Working in batches, boil each bagel for 30 seconds each side, then transfer to a baking sheet.
11: Bake for 18-22mins or until deeply golden brown.
