Pumpkin Spice Bagels

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a pumpkin spice fanatic! I love to indulge in a warm pumpkin spice latte and I look forward to it every  fall.  Now I can enjoy it with a delicious homemade pumpkin spice bagel. Trust me when I say it isn't a daunting task to make your own bagels. 

Ingredients:
-2/3 cup of water
-1/2 cup of canned pumpkin
-1/3 cup of brown sugar
-1 tsp of salt
- 1 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
-3/4 tsp of ground nutmeg
-1/2 tsp of allspice
-3 cups of bread flour
-1 package of active dry yeast


Directions:
-Dissolve your dry yeast according to directions.
-In a bowl, add water, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, spices, flour and lastly yeast. Blend  and knead the dough well  and add flour as needed. Then let it rise for about 10 minutes. 
-Bring a pot of water to a boil. 
- Then take a small handful of dough (add flour as needed) and roll into a ball and gently press your thumb through the center to form a ring. Make sure the ring of dough is even on all sides. 
-Once you have made your bagels drop into the boiling water for about 45 seconds on each side(only boil about 2 bagels at a time). 
-Lastly, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and place bagels on the sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 15 -20 minutes. 
-Enjoy with some store bought or homemade pumpkin spice cream cheese!
