           - to serve
 
  Combine water, blueberries, yeast and 2 tablespoons of
  caster sugar in a jug. Set aside for 5 minutes or until
  frothy.
  
  Combine the flour, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and
  make a well in the centre. Pour the yeast mixture into the
  well and stir until mixture just comes together. Turn onto
  a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or
  until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a large bowl
  and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm,
  draught-free place for 30 minutes or until dough rises by
  half.
  
  Preheat oven to 360°F/180°C. Combine extra water and
  remaining caster sugar in a large saucepan over high heat
  and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and bring to
  a simmer.
  
  Brush an oven tray with oil. Divide dough into eight even
  portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Push a lightly
  floured finger through middle of ball to create a hole.
  Flatten ball slightly. Place on oiled tray and set aside
  for 10 minutes to rise slightly.
  
  Add 4 of the bagels to simmering water; cook for 3
  minutes. Use a slotted spoon to turn; cook for a further 3
  minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and return to oiled
  tray. Repeat with remaining bagels.
  
  Whisk egg yolk and milk together in a bowl. Brush evenly
  over each bagel; sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated
  oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked
  through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Serve
  toasted with cream cheese and berries, if desired.
