Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour Bob's Red Mill Recommended, mix
  • 8 grams instant yeast
  • ¼ cup water warm
  • 1 cup vegan greek yogurt Riveria recommended, plain
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds mixed with 4 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

To boil bagels

  • water boiling, in a pot
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Bagel toppings

  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Combine chia seeds with water and let sit until gel-like, about 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. 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)
  5. Cover and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Mix olive oil and salt, brush on bagels, and add any desired toppings.
  11. 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.
