There’s a thing about making bagels…you can make them taste like any season you want.
It’s awesome. And really fun to come up with delicious flavor combinations.
It's Autumn in Japan. We just had Halloween. Leaves are changing into a brilliant matrix of color. The air is crisp and fresh.
So how do you make bagels taste like autumn?
Easy.
Pumpkin.
Cinnamon.
Allspice.
Ginger.
Cloves.
Result: the best bagels I have (yet) made.

Autumn Pumpkin Spice Bagels
5/8 cup warm water
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 T honey
1 t salt
2 t pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 t cinnamon
3 1/3 cups bread flour
2 t active dry yeast
1) Mix flour, water, salt, honey and yeast. Knead, let rise for an hour.
2) Separate dough into six sections and shapes into bagels. (I knead the dough into a small ball then poke a hole through the middle with your finger to form the hole.)
3) Allow formed bagels to rise for 20 min. Prep your pot of boiling water.
4) Drop the bagels gently into the pot of boiling water for about 1 min per side.
5) Place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
6) Bake at 400 F for 20-25 min.
