Ingredients
Scale
2 1/2 cups self-raising gluten-free flour
2 teaspoon instant yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
1 egg
1 tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Combine gluten-free self-raising flour, dry yeast, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk them together, then make a well in the center. Add water and only half of the whisked egg (save the rest for brushing the bagels, as you’ll only need a small amount).
- Cut the butter into small chunks and add it to the wet ingredients. Use your hands to form a dough, being patient as it may be sticky and difficult to shape. If needed, oil your hands or add one tablespoon of water to make handling easier. Once the dough comes together, please chill in the refrigerator for 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle the surface with flour and divide the dough into 3 or 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a ball, then flatten it and create a hole in the middle, making the bagel shape.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Boil water in a medium-sized saucepan and give each bagel a 30-40 second bath in the boiling water on each side. Don’t worry if they appear wrinkly or uneven at this stage, as it is normal. Place the boiled bagels on a cooling rack and brush each with the remaining beaten egg. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top, according to your preference.
- Bake at 325°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overbake!
Notes
- This recipe is called a “no-rise” recipe because no additional time is needed for the bagels to rise. All the rising occurs during baking in the oven. This allows for quick preparation without any additional waiting time.
- Be careful not to overbake the bagels. I always say “when it doubt, take them out!”.
