Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free flour (such as almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose blend)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Toppings (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and baking powder. Slowly add the plain Greek yogurt and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle additional gluten-free flour as needed to reach a workable consistency.
- Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball then create a hole in the center by poking your finger through and gently stretching it into the classic bagel shape.
- Add toppings: For extra flavor, dip each shaped bagel into a bowl of water, then coat with your choice of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake: Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum for best texture, or add xanthan gum separately if your blend lacks it.
- Feel free to experiment with toppings like garlic powder, onion flakes, or coarse salt to customize your bagels.
- If dough feels sticky, add flour gradually to avoid drying it out.
- These bagels are best consumed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
- For a softer crust, brush the bagels with a little olive oil before baking.
