In the stand mixer bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and yeast.
Add in the frozen blueberries and mix until they are all coated with flour.
In a small mixing bowl, mix together the water, honey, and sourdough discard until the discard is fully dissolved.
With the stand mixer on low, slowly add in the sourdough discard mixture. Let the stand mixer knead the dough on low for 5 - 10 minutes.
Cover with a tea towel or bowl cover and let the dough rest on the counter for two hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
When the dough has doubled, turn it over onto a clean work surface. Using your bench scraper, separate the dough into 8 equal parts. Shape the dough balls into bagels. You can do this by pushing a hole through the middle of a ball, or rolling the dough pieces into a snake, flattening out the end and connecting the two ends together to form a circle.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add in the baking soda and sugar.
Add 2-3 bagels at a time to the boiling water and boil for 30 - 45 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, flip the bagels over in the water and boil for an additional 30 seconds.
Transfer the boiled bagels to a baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush the egg wash on top of each bagel. Bake the bagels at 400 for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown on top.
Let cool slightly before slicing, and enjoy with a smear of cream cheese or as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich :)
