Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Feed Your Sourdough Starter: Feed your sourdough starter 8–12 hours prior to mixing the dough, ensuring it’s bubbly and active.
  2. Prepare the Raspberries: If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely and drain any excess juice to avoid soggy dough.
  3. Make the Raspberry Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, mashed raspberries, water, honey, and sea salt.
  4. Create the Pistachio Dough: Clean your mixing bowl and combine the ingredients for the pistachio dough similarly.
  5. First Rise: Allow both doughs to rise at room temperature for about 6–8 hours, until doubled in size.
  6. Overnight Proof: Cover and refrigerate both bowls overnight to enhance flavors.
  7. Braid the Doughs: Divide each dough into equal portions and roll them into logs, twisting them together to create a braid.
  8. Shape the Bagels: Bring the ends of each braided dough together to form a bagel.
  9. Final Rise: Place the bagels on a baking sheet and cover with a towel, allowing them to rise for another 1–3 hours.
  10. Boil the Bagels: Drop each bagel into boiling water and cook for 1 minute on each side.
  11. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the boiled bagels to a baking sheet, sprinkle with pistachios, and bake at 425°F for 20–25 minutes.
  12. Cool and Enjoy: Cool on a wire rack, then slice and enjoy with your favorite spread.
