  • Mix well.
  • In a stand mixing bowl add the flour. Place the salt and yeast on opposite sides of the bowl. Add the sugar as well.
  • Give it a quick mix and then add the pumpkin mix to the flour. Add a few drops of the orange gel food colouring. I accidently added in way too much, so my pumpkins bagels were far more neon than I wished. Still tasted amazing though.

  • Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil.
  • Preheat your oven to 190°C
  • Line the trays with baking paper.
  • Take the dough out of the bowl and press down to flatten. Weigh the dough and divide into eight even pieces. Place a piece of clingwrap over the pieces of dough.

  • Keep doing this process until all the bagels have been shaped. Place a large piece of clingwrap on top of the bagels. Making sure they are covered so they don’t dry.

  • Keep boiling the bagels and placing them on the tray. Make sure to leave a decent gap in between them as they will rise in the oven.
  • When you have a tray of bagels place them in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. They should feel crisp on top but not brown.
