Scale

- 215 grams (3/4 C) Pumpkin Purée
- canned or freshly baked/pureed pumpkin will work
- 110 grams (1/2 C) Filtered Water
- 42 grams (2 Tbsp) Honey
- 550 grams (3 1/2 C) unbleached Bread Flour or unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, pumpkin purée, warm water, and honey until well blended.
- Add the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, and sugar, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and allow it to rise for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough, then divide it into equal portions and shape each into a bagel.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add baking soda, and boil each bagel for about 1 minute on each side.
- Transfer the boiled bagels to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the bagels are baking, mix cream cheese, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice in a bowl until smooth.
- Once the bagels are baked, let them cool slightly before serving with the pumpkin spice cream cheese.
Notes
For best results, use an active sourdough starter and adjust the consistency of the dough with more water or flour as needed.
