Pumpkin Bagels with Maple Smear #BreadBakers

November 17, 2014 by Sophie 24 Comments

IMG_2791Guess what day it is?! National Homemade Bread Day! So naturally, we gotta make some bread!

I’ve been wanting to make bagels for foreverrr now, and in honor of this wonderful Fall season…I of course haaad to throw in some pumpkin.

IMG_2797There’s this bagel shop in my town called Barton’s, and it’s one of the places where everyyyone used to go for lunch back when I was in high school. Like, it was impossible to go and not run into someone you knew there.

I still go every once in a while, and I alwaysss get the same thing: A tomato basil bagel with the sundried tomato cream cheese. It’s like…pizza, in a bagel form. But not like a pizza bagel…cuz that’s a different thing entirely obviously. Hmm…maybe tomato soup is a better comparison. Anyways, it’s delicious!

IMG_2777I always look over at the other bagel flavors, and every time I go in I try to tell myself I’m going to get something different…but I just can’t break my usual. It’s too good. They have pumpkin bagels at Barton’s too! But I never end up trying any of the other ones because I’m too set in my ways (yes, at the ripe ‘ol age of 23 haha).IMG_2794I have to be honest…I’ve got one of the most terrible curses ever. Anytime I go somewhere new, or want to try something different on a menu, I almost always order the wrong thing. Like, to a fault. Nev (the male friend) testifies to this awfulness. I sometimes choose something that turns out so disappointing, it makes me not want to return to that place. It’s so ridiculous. I’m silly, I know. It doesn’t help that I’m super picky. Once I find something I like, I can’t get myself to deviate! What if I don’t like it?! I’ve definitely created a major complex for myself about this whole thing.

IMG_2783So yea. Uhhh…Back to the bagels. I am a huge fan of these bagels. They’re pumpkin, sooo of course I’m pleased. I also whipped up a nice little Fall inspired cream cheese smear with some maple and pumpkin pie spice! These guys toasted and smothered with that spread, ohh man. It just sends you straight into a blissful zen seasonal state of happiness. Yes. All those words just happened.

IMG_2799Bagels: (Adapted from Heathers French Press)

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup pumpkin puree

Maple Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese:

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Bagels: In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the dry ingredients and whisk until incorporated. Add the pumpkin and water, and using your dough hook attachment, mix on medium high until the dough forms a ball. You want to work it until it is not too sticky (about 5 minutes). Cover, and let rise for 1 1/2 hours. It should double in size. Knock it down, and divide into 8 pieces. Roll each into a ball, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Flour your finger, and poke a hole in the center of each ball. You will need to kind of stretch the dough out to maintain the hole through the second rise. Cover again, and let rise for 30 minutes. Prepare a large pot of water, and bring it to a boil. Boil 2 bagels at a time, for 2 minutes. Half way through, flip the bagels over. Transfer to your lined sheet pan. Preheat the oven to 425, and once the bagels are boiled bake them for 20 minutes until golden brown. Slice, toast and spread with cream cheese to serve.

Cream Cheese: In the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and maple syrup until light and fluffy. Add in the spice and vanilla, and mix until incorporated.

IMG_2798Even though I’m obsessed with all things pumpkin, I alas cannot jump on the Pumpkin Spice Latte bandwagon. It’s just way too sickeningly sweet. But these bagels…these are like what a Pumpkin Spice Latte should taste like. Bliss.

    Your bagels turned out so well and the pumpkin flavor sounds just right. I share that same trouble you have with ordering new things. It’s like I think so hard about what I want to order and then the words that come out are not at all what I thought I’d be saying! If I were you I think the usual order of the tomato basil bagel is one to stick with– make these pumpkin at home, though, and you have the best of both worlds!
