Flaxseed meal can replace egg for binding in vegan recipes.

Pour 300 grams of all-purpose flour into a bowl.

Add 3 grams of yeast and 2 grams of salt to the flour.

Pour in 120 grams of water while stirring continuously.

Add 70 grams of blueberry jam to the mixture.

Knead the mixture by hand into a dough that is moderately firm and slightly stiff.

Cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to rest.

After resting, transfer the dough to a work surface and continue kneading until smooth.

Divide the dough evenly into 6 portions.

Take one portion of dough, knead it briefly, and shape it into a ball.

Cover the shaped ball with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Take the first piece of dough and start shaping the bagel by rolling it into a rectangular sheet using a rolling pin.

Thin out one end of the dough, then roll it up from the opposite side to form a rope about 20 cm (8 inches) long.

Flatten one end with a rolling pin and place the other end on top of the flattened part, pinching the seam tightly.

Shape the remaining pieces of dough in the same way and cover with plastic wrap to let them rise until 1.5 times their original size.

Gently press the surface of the dough; if it springs back slightly but not completely, the fermentation is complete.

Boil a pot of water and add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

When the water is gently simmering, add the bagel dough pieces and boil each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Remove and drain the bagels, then place them on a baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 400℉ (205℃) and bake for 20 minutes.

Once the bagels are baked, place them on a wire rack to cool.

When you press the bagels gently, they should spring back slowly.
