Place the blueberries and half of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until you have a blueberry sauce, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the warm water, remaining sugar, and yeast together. Cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add 1/2 cup of the blueberry sauce, vanilla extract, dried blueberries, 1 cup of bread flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Beat until incorporated. Add remaining flour and beat for 2 minutes until dough comes together.
Beat on low speed for 6–8 minutes, or knead by hand until the dough feels smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides. Cover and allow to rise for 2 hours.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Fill a large pot with water and whisk in the honey. Bring to a boil, then drop in bagels, boiling each for 2 minutes.
Brush the egg wash on top of each bagel.
Bake for 26–30 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Slice, toast, and enjoy! Store leftovers tightly for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
