Instructions
Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your roaster to 375 °F( 190 °C) and line a baking distance with diploma paper. Preheating the oven ensures that your bagels bake evenly and get a golden crust.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are well combined to ensure an even distribution of flavors and rise.
Add the Greek Yogurt:
Gradually add 1 cup of Greek yogurt to the flour mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until a sticky dough forms. The yogurt acts as a binder and gives the dough moisture, preventing it from being crumbly.
Knead the Dough:
Lightly dust your hands and a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Transfer the dough to the surface and knead it gently for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth. Avoid over-kneading to prevent a tough texture.
Divide the Dough:
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions for standard-sized bagels. You can use a kitchen scale to ensure each portion is the same size, but it’s not mandatory.
Shape the Bagels:
Roll each portion into a ball, then use your thumb to poke a hole through the center of each dough ball. Gently stretch the hole until it’s around 1- 2 elevation wide. The bagel hole will shrink slightly as it bakes, so make sure it’s large enough.
Boil the Bagels:
Bring a voluminous pot of water to a pustule. Gently drop each bagel into the boiling water, one or two at a time, and boil for 30-60 seconds per side. This step helps to set the shape and create a chewy texture. Remove the bagels from the water with a slotted ladle and position them on the diploma- lined baking distance.
Egg Wash and Add Toppings:
Beat 1 egg in a fragile coliseum to produce an egg marshland. Brush the tops of each bagel with the egg wash to give them a shiny, golden finish. If you're vegan or dairy-free, use almond or oat milk instead. After applying the wash, sprinkle your desired toppings, such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
Bake the Bagels:
Place the bagels in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. For extra crispiness, you can flip them halfway through baking. Keep an eye on them during the last many twinkles to helpover-browning.
Cool and Serve:
Once the bagels are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Allowing the bagels to cool prevents them from becoming soggy. Serve them warm with your favorite spread, or store them for later!
