Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten free flour
or self raising gluten free flour
- ½ cup+ 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt or vegan Greek yogurt for vegans
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
- Poppy seeds
- Zaatar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup gluten-free flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 cup Greek yogurt until combined.
- Using your hands, squeeze the mixture together until it forms a dough. It may seem crumbly at first, but pressing it together will help.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts (so this makes four bagels).
- Roll each portion into a log, then connect the ends to form a bagel shape. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: Brush with an egg wash (1 beaten egg) for a golden crust and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, or zaatar.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly golden brown.
- Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Choose the Right Flour: A self-raising gluten-free flour blend works best for convenience and texture.
- Check the Dough: If it feels too dry, add a little more yogurt, one tablespoon at a time.
- For Extra Chewiness: Try boiling the bagels in water for 1 minute per side before baking.
