Recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice Bagels
Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie Spice Bagels
1 1/2 cup Warm Water
1 Tbsp Yeast
3 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
4 cups Flour
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Directions
1. In a microwave safe measuring cup, measure 1 1/2 cup Water and then warm it in the microwave for 1 minute.
2. Measure and add 1 Tbsp Yeast to the KitchenAid mixer bowl and add the water, then whisk well to combine.
As the dough needs to be kneaded for 10 minutes with this recipe, using a KitchenAid mixer is recommended.
3. To the mixer bowl, measure and then add 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar, 1 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice, 2 tsp Salt, and 4 cups Flour and then mix on MEDIUM-LOW for 10-minutes.
4. While the mixture combines, spray a medium bowl with nonstick spray and then set aside.
5. Before the 10 minutes is up, add the remaining 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar and 1 tsp Cinnamon, 1 tsp Nutmeg, 1 tsp Ground Ginger and 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice and mix well to combine to the dough.
Adding more at this stage helps to bring the swirl design into your bagels and adds a pop of flavor.
This ginger was homemade! By buying fresh ginger in bulk, you can then process it using a dehydrator to make your own powdered ginger. It smells WAY better and fresher than anything found in the store.
If you also have soy or dairy limitations, you may want to consider making your own as that is the common anti-caking ingredients used in spices.
Looking at my nutmeg and cinnamon, two I have not make myself, the cinnamon does NOT have ingredients listed while the nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice states: MAY CONTAIN MILK, WHEAT, SOY.

6. Turn off the KitchenAid mixer and turn out the dough onto a clean surface. Form the dough into a ball.
7. Place the bagel dough in the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap, then rest the dough for 1 1/2 hours.
8. Transfer the risen Pumpkin Pie Spice Bagels dough onto a clean surface and then divide into 8-equal pieces using a knife or a bench scraper.
9. Roll each dough ball into a smooth and round ball using your hands, placing them seam-side-down on the countertop.
10. Cover the rolled dough balls with plastic wrap and then let rest for 30-minutes.
Reuse the plastic wrap from the bagels being covered in the bowl.
When I big batch make them, I write the flavor on the plastic wrap with a permanent marker.
11. Place a large saucepan on the stove with 2-inches of water and then turn to high and bring to a boil.
12. To the water, add 1 tsp Salt and 1 tsp Granulated Sugar, then whisk until dissolved.
If you want more of a darker looking bagel, add 1 tsp Molasses to the water before boiling the bagels.
13. Poke your finger in the center of each dough ball and then use your fingers to form the bagel by pulling the dough out from the middle hole with your fingers.
14. Place the shaped bagel in the water and boil for 2-minutes, then turn using a slotted spoon and boil 1-more minute.
15. Remove the boiled bagels from the water and then place onto a cooling rack to drip dry for 1 minute.
16. Finally transfer to a baking stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
By using a baking stone, the bagels will then be easily removed after baking and will not need the parchment paper.
17. Bake the Pumpkin Pie Spice Bagels at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
18. When done, remove from the oven and rest to cool on a baking rack and cut with a serrated knife and enjoy toasted!
