Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy, Cheese
     Yield: 8 Bagels

   3/4 c  (185ml) warm water
   100 g  Frozen blueberries; thawed
     2 ts (7g/1 sachet) dried yeast
   1/3 c  (70g) caster sugar
 2 1/2 c  (375g) plain flour
     1 ts Ground cinnamon
   1/2 ts Salt
     8 c  (2 litres) water; + extra
     1 lg Egg yolk
     1 tb Milk
   1/4 c  (60g) white sugar
          Cream cheese; to serve
          Blueberries and raspberries;
          - to serve

 Combine water, blueberries, yeast and 2 tablespoons of
 caster sugar in a jug. Set aside for 5 minutes or until
 frothy.

 Combine the flour, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and
 make a well in the centre. Pour the yeast mixture into the
 well and stir until mixture just comes together. Turn onto
 a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or
 until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a large bowl
 and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm,
 draught-free place for 30 minutes or until dough rises by
 half.

 Preheat oven to 360°F/180°C. Combine extra water and
 remaining caster sugar in a large saucepan over high heat
 and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and bring to
 a simmer.

 Brush an oven tray with oil. Divide dough into eight even
 portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Push a lightly
 floured finger through middle of ball to create a hole.
 Flatten ball slightly. Place on oiled tray and set aside
 for 10 minutes to rise slightly.

 Add 4 of the bagels to simmering water; cook for 3
 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to turn; cook for a further 3
 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and return to oiled
 tray. Repeat with remaining bagels.

 Whisk egg yolk and milk together in a bowl. Brush evenly
 over each bagel; sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated
 oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked
 through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Serve
 toasted with cream cheese and berries, if desired.
