Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sourdough starter
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, warm water, and sugar until well combined.
Add the flour, salt, and spices, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel.
Boil the bagels in the water for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool before serving.
Notes
For a sweeter bagel, add more sugar to the dough.
These bagels can be topped with seeds or spices before baking for added flavor.
