Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Dough
- 1.5 cups gluten-free flour (such as almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Toppings
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Water (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and baking powder thoroughly. Slowly add the plain Greek yogurt and mix until a dough starts to form, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it gently for a few minutes until it becomes smooth. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle additional gluten-free flour sparingly to achieve the right consistency.
- Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then create a hole in the center by poking your finger through the ball and stretching gently to shape a classic bagel form.
- Add toppings: For enhanced flavor and texture, dip each bagel briefly into a bowl of water, then immediately coat with your preferred toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake the bagels: Arrange the shaped and topped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels develop a golden brown color and a firm crust.
- Cool and serve: Let the bagels cool for a few minutes on a wire rack to finish setting before serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free bagels fresh or toasted with your favorite spreads.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with any gluten-free all-purpose flour blend suitable for baking.
- If the dough is too sticky, add flour gradually while kneading; too dry, add a little more yogurt.
- Try various toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or an everything bagel seasoning mix to change the flavor profile.
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Reheat bagels by toasting or warming in the oven for best texture.
