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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and baking powder thoroughly to distribute the leavening evenly.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
