1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (9 ounces), more for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
If using freeze dried blueberries, add them to a food processor or high speed blender and process into powder.
In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and freeze dried blueberries powder (if using); whisk well.
Add Greek yogurt and vanilla, stir with spatula to combine. Then proceed to mix with your hands until a ball of dough forms. Knead it about 20 times. Dough should be not sticky but not dry and quite firm.
Add blueberries and gently fold a few times to incorporate, blueberries should not crush. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Transfer dough on a counter sprinkled with flour, form into a round and cut into 4 even pieces. Roll each into a long rope, making sure to tuck in blueberries inside the dough to get rid of air pockets, and then pinch the ends into a bagel shape, making a large hole in the center because bagels puff up. Place on a previously prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush the bagels.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes (do not skip!). Slice, spread and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
