Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour mix Bob's Red Mill Recommended
- 8 grams instant yeast
- ¼ cup warm water
- 1 cup vegan Greek yogurt, plain (Riveria recommended)
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds mixed with 4 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
To boil bagels
- pot of boiling water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Bagel toppings
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix the instant yeast with warm water and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Wait for it to froth, indicating it's active.
- Combine chia seeds with water and let sit until gel-like, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Ensure the vegan yogurt is at room temperature. Mix the activated yeast, yogurt, and chia egg with the dry ingredients. Then begin to mix until a sticky yet pliable dough forms. This should take 3ish minutes. Tip: The dough should have a playdoh consistency and will be sticky (see image)
- Cover and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough gently, aiming for a play-doh consistency. It will be sticky yet pliable. If the dough is too sticky, add 2 tablespoon of flour as needed but avoid overworking.
- Divide the dough into 6 sections, then using floured hands roll each into a ball. Place onto the floured surface or parchment paper and then using your finger create a ¾ inch hole in the center of each.
- Let your shaped bagels rest for 5 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bring a large pot of water to a boil with the sugar.
- Boil each bagel for about 30 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and then place on a greased baking pan or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Mix olive oil and salt, brush on bagels, and add any desired toppings.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Top Recipe Tips:
- Storage Notes: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Slice before storing to make toasting easier. Or freeze cooled bagels in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Toast directly from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Rest the dough: Gluten-free flour needs time to hydrate fully for the best texture.
- Sticky dough is okay: Gluten-free dough should feel like thick batter; avoid adding too much extra flour.
- Gentle boiling: Prevent bagels from falling apart by boiling gently for 30 seconds on each side.
- Golden-brown bake: Ensure bagels reach 190–210°F for the perfect crust and chewy interior.
