It’s a PUMPKIN PARTAYYYYY. I’m posting these Pumpkin Everything Bagels as part of a HUGE pumpkin celebration with a bunch of other bloggers – scroll down for all their links! And honestly? I’m the most low key person ever, parties generally stress me out, so the idea of a Pumpkin Party sounds pretty amazing. Of course, this is a virtual party, but let’s pause for a minute to imagine what a real Pumpkin Party might look like, shall we?
I’m imagining a twilight scene in a Pumpkin Patch, Charlie Brown style. It’s Autumn, it’s a lil’ chilly, there’s someone handing out cups of hot Apple Cider and hot chocolate and the Pumpkin Everything Bagels are piled high, stuffed with cream cheese! I have no issue with eating bagels at twilight, in fact I think that’s what the title of my eventual autobiography will be, subtitle ‘Least Organised Girl Ever Fools Everyone, Starts Blog.’
There would also be a stunning array of other Pumpkin based foods at this very relaxed evening gathering, and there is no shortage of inspiration to be had thanks to the lovely Sara of Cake Over Steak! For it is she who has brought the bloggers together to celebrate all things pumpkin in this virtual Pumpkin Extravaganza – and you simply must scroll to the bottom of this post and check out all dem links if you’ve ever wanted to have your mind blow by sheer creativity and variety and talent and pumpkin.
But for now, let’s talk about the glory of the Pumpkin Everything Bagel. Do you know what a standard ‘everything bagel’ is? It’s your classic boiled bagel, topped with a sassy mix of dried onion, dried garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt. Excuse me while I gently up the ante and add PUMPKIN to that mix! Although it’s not in the topping – it’s coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE! Sorry, a little Halloween movie excitement there, what I mean to say is, there is pumpkin inside these here bagels.
The pumpkin is subtle, but definitely detectable, and it is complimented beautifully by the super-savoury everything mix on top of these bad boys. I adapted my own recipe for Poppy Seed & Sea Salt Bagels to get to these, and I’m happy to tell you that it is a solid recipe, and a lot easier than you might think. Every step of the process is easy, they just take time – great for de-stressing and the perfect excuse to watch a non-scary movie marathon (I’m sorry, I’m a scary movie wuss, it was false bravado before).
Anyway, check out ALLL these links! I think I’ve made things from at least 80% of these blogs before so I can definitely vouch for their quality, and enjoy! Oh, and just scroll to the bottom for the bagels!
xx Sarah.

- 4 + ½ cups (675g) plain flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried active yeast
- 3 tbsp golden syrup (or honey or malt syrup)
- 1 cup (250ml) warm water
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree (or fresh is fine)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp + 2 tsp poppy seeds
- 1 tbsp garlic granules
- 1 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 1½ tsp sea salt flakes
- Place the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- In a small jug combine 1 tbsp of the golden syrup with the warm water, and pumpkin. Stir well to combine.
- Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour, and work on a low speed for about 5-10 minutes or until the dough comes together and is elastic. It should cling to the dough hook in a ball.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 + ½ to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, turn the oven on to preheat at 475F/250C, line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, and place a wide saucepan with about 3 inches of water and the remaining 2 tbsp of golden syrup in it over a high heat.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into ten pieces.
- Roll each piece out into a fat log, and then wrap each piece around your hand to form the traditional bagel shape. Roll the two ends of the dough together with your palm and then place the shaped bagels onto the baking sheet.
- Stir together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic granules, onion flakes and salt in a small bowl.
- One by one, place each bagel into the boiling water for 30 seconds a side, removing them with a slotted spoon, and placing them back on the baking sheet.
- Once they're all done, sprinkle them liberally with the 'everything' mixture, and then bake them for 10 minutes, before turning the oven down to 400F/200C, for a further 10 minutes. Leave to cool on a rack, and eat.
Um, HI!!! THIS IS MY DREAM BAGEL. You know how obsessed am i with everything spice right? Also, this literally made me laugh so hard: “Least Organised Girl Ever Fools Everyone, Starts Blog” –> defines me perfectly.
Sarah, I just want you to know that you are making all of my bagel dreams come true with this recipe! I’m all over thses bagels, Yay-yuh!!!
These are so fun!! I love everything bagels (I have a jar of just the topping from King Arthur Flour in my cupboard) but haven’t even thought of flavouring the dough with something like pumpkin! Yum!
These bagels look AMAZING! I’ve never made bagels on my own before, but you’ve inspired me to try. And congrats on your new book, I’m still deciding what to make from it first :) So glad our #virtualpumpkinparty has been a big hit!
Damn I love a good bagel, why can’t we get down on these in person?! I would love to eat 5 right about now, with more coffee please.
It’s been awhile since I’ve made homemade bagels. I think these are going to be it!
Omg, these look delicious.
You are fulfilling all my autumn carb-y dreams here! So much love, this looks rocking!
it’s like all those food competition shows (well, okay, i’m thinking about food network’s “cupcake wars”); as tasty as the sweet ones sound, it’s the savory dishes that you remember.
Girl, you just win at life. These look fantastic! Happy pumpkin day!
Pumpkin-palooza! This looks amazing. I’ve actually been wanting a recipe for pumpkin bagels for yonks. I’ve been buying them for the past 2 years from a mum at my kids’ school, but she suddenly stopped production so my supply has dried up. Time to give them a try myself. Happy Halloween.
SARAH!!! Do you know how much i LOVE everything bagels? Like I love them with my whole heart, so deeply that I, too, will come eat bagels at twilight with you. And then we won’t know what’s weirder, the fact that we’re eating bagels at twilight, or that there are TWO OF US eating bagels at twilight. But at least it’ll be a whole chapter in your memoir. And we’ll be pumped af because we’re eating these AMAZING pumpkin everything bagels of brilliance. YUM.
Yes! Everything bagels are everything. I love that these have a pumpkin dough.
my eyes are popping out of my head! these photos are incredible. I want to reach through my screen and pick up one of those bagels (or 10). I’m definitely not a party person either, I like a low key scene, But this pumpkin party was perfectly suited to me. I definitely could be enrolled in your version of the real life pumpkin party though. pumpkin patch, apple cider, and these bagels…I’m there!
These look awesome!!
Oh em gee. These look divine! GO SARA for organizing this virtual shindig. Even as a non-food blogger, I’m loving all of these recipes!
These bagels are EVERYTHING!! Literally. I am such a big fan of everything bagels, so I’m sure I’d love a pumpkin version.
I love how you thought outside the box for this pumpkin application. These look incredible! :)
I love how you thought outside the box for this pumpkin application. These look incredible! :)
I am up for that pumpkin party anytime! In fact, I would even dress for the occasion in some pimpin’ pumpkin threads ;) I would of course be eating my way through a pumpkin bagel as big as my head in this dream party scenario too…
Oh man, these look so good! Can i freeze these? Before or after baking? Thanks sarah!
Thanks Alice! These freeze perfectly after their baked – to reheat, just throw them frozen into a hot oven for about 10 minutes. (or if you can’t wait, just nuke them in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, and then toast!). xx
Oh man! I (like the rest of the world) am a pumpkin fanatic so this party is incredible! Love these bagels!!
Yessss these bagels sound like EVERYTHING I need in life. (get it?) Thanks for being a part of this, Sarah!!! xoxo
Hi everyone,
Could I eat those pics? Seriously guys I can smell these delicious bagels from my PC! Great, you made my day!
I am sending you my love and gratitude,
Daria
