I had a lot of sourdough starter and thought I would make bagels for something different. This is an overnight sourdough bagel dough and so easy to prepare!
These bagels have a rich sourdough flavor but are studded with chocolate and are absolutely scrumptious! They are more dense, but could be lightened up by adding yeast. I will definitely be making these again!
Let’s get started!
Mix sourdough starter, water, honey, salt and 1 cup flour together.
Add another cup of flour and stir.
Knead chocolate chips into dough. Knead until it pulls away from the bowl. Drizzle with oil.
Cover and leave overnight.
After 30 minutes, it’s time to boil!
To a pot of hot water, add brown sugar and baking soda and bring to a boil.
Place bagels in boiling water carefully. If you placed the bagels on parchment, then place them in parchment side up.
Once the bagels float, remove from the pot and place on a cooling rack so they can drip. You may have to stir the bagels after a minute. I cooked them first and couple minutes.
Bagels are looking great.
Once all of the bagels have boiled, place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Let cool.
These sourdough bagels are simply delicious!!
I toasted them up, spread plain cream cheese over top and sprinkled with chocolate powder (that you sprinkle over coffee). It was so good! They’re very filling.

Chocolate Chip Bagels
1 cup sourdough starter
1 cup warm water
2 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Mix dough ingredients altogether — knead chocolate chips into dough. Knead until it pulls away from the bowl. Drizzle with oil, cover and leave overnight.
Take a piece of dough. Roll into a log. Roll around your hand and fold the end over the other end and twist. Place on parchment paper and continue until done. Let rise 45 minutes.
Time to boil the water. Add 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1 tbsp baking soda to 2-3 quarts of water. Place bagel into boiling water, bagel side down. When the parchment releases, retrieve it from the hot water. Boil for 1 minute on each side. Place on cooling rack so bagels don’t become soggy.
Place on baking tray and bake at 425F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack until cold. Enjoy!
