We get pretty excited when we talk about our bagels. They taste so great and require such little effort. Honestly, fresh bagels maybe shouldn’t be this easy!?! However, our bagels are exactly that.
Incredibly easy and use accessible ingredients to bake. Did we mention that you don’t have to boil these bagels either? And they’ll be ready within an hour? Pull out the CUT flour and lets go.
One of the most important steps in making these bagels and is to first sift the flour. Don’t miss this. When using gluten-free flour, the ingredients bake more dense. Sifting will help incorporate the flour and add air to your bagel. This will create a more fluffy end result when mixed simply by hand.
After the flour has been sifted, go ahead and mix all the dry ingredients, then lastly the yogurt. The egg is not mixed within the dough and is used only as an egg wash before baking.
Pull out your fork to mix and then your hands. Feel free to also use a pastry blender if you find that’s easier.
Lightly flour your surface and work the dough. Incorporating the yogurt through kneading, you’ll find that the flour will begin to find moisture. Once you have a ‘workable’ dough, make a ball and pat to a round flat circle. Leave the dough approximately 1.5″ thick and divide with a knife into 6 equal sections.
Knead the dough again with each section and begin to roll into a ‘log’. Then go ahead and bend in a circle; slightly overlapping the ends, attach to form your bagel.
Transfer these shaped bagels to a parchment lined baking sheet and make your egg wash if you haven’t already.
When making the egg wash, ensure that the yolk and white are incorporated VERY well. Brush it over your bagels and smooth any cracks you wish. Then into the oven on the top rack and bake!
Within only 25 minutes in the oven, your bagels will be golden brown and cooling!
