Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 egg white, beaten (for brushing)
Toppings (Optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the plain Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable; if it is too sticky, add a bit more gluten-free flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center of each ball and gently widen it to form the classic bagel shape.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bagel with the beaten egg white to give them a shiny golden crust when baked.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top of the egg-washed bagels if desired for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or toasted with your favorite spread or toppings.
Notes
- Use gluten-free all-purpose flour to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- If the dough feels too sticky to handle, add more flour gradually to make it manageable.
- Egg white brushing gives the bagels a beautiful shine; omit for vegan adaptation.
- Optional honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness but can be omitted for a savory bagel.
- Top with your favorite seeds or seasoning blend to customize flavor.
- Bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
