Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free flour (such as almond flour or gluten-free all-purpose blend)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Optional Toppings
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy 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 ensure even cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and baking powder thoroughly to distribute the leavening evenly.
- Add Yogurt and Form Dough: Slowly add the plain Greek yogurt to the dry mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form, ensuring it is combined but not overworked.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead gently for a few minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If sticky, sprinkle additional flour as needed to achieve a manageable consistency.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then create a hole in the center using your finger and gently stretch it to shape the dough into a classic bagel form.
- Add Toppings: For added flavor, dip each bagel in a bowl of water, then into your choice of toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake: Arrange the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving to allow the texture to set and flavors to develop.
Notes
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
- You can freeze bagels for up to one month. Reheat in a toaster or microwave for best results.
- Feel free to experiment with different gluten-free flours to suit your taste or dietary preferences.
