Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1 cup sorghum flour
  • 1 cup tapioca flour (tapioca starch)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 105°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk or xanthan gum
  • 1 egg (for egg wash) or flaxseed gel wash (for vegans)
  • Toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, etc.

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, whisk together warm water and honey (or sugar). Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until a foamy layer develops.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough is soft and slightly sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
  4. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough briefly to develop structure. Shape it into a ball, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel. Let the shaped bagels rise again for 20-30 minutes.
  6. Boil Bagels: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently drop the bagels into the water. Boil for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Egg Wash and Toppings: Brush each bagel with the egg wash (or flaxseed gel wash) and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.

Notes

  • Yeast Activation: Ensure your yeast is fresh and water is lukewarm to achieve proper activation.
  • Dough Consistency: Gluten-free flours absorb moisture differently. Adjust the dough with small amounts of water or flour as needed to reach the desired consistency.
  • Kneading and Rising: Proper kneading and allowing the dough to rise in a warm spot are crucial for achieving the right texture.
  • Toppings: Get creative with your toppings. Try different seeds or seasonings for variety.
