If you're excited to enjoy gluten free bagels, warm out of the oven, you can! Ground flax seed gives these bagels a wheaty taste and the molasses trick gives them the chewy brown exterior.

145 grams brown rice flour 1 cup
82 grams potato starch ½ cup
69 grams tapioca starch ½ cup
60 grams sorghum flour ½ cup
82 grams ground flax seed ½ cup
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1½ teaspoon salt

WET INGREDIENTS

1¼ cups warm water
2 tablespoon corn syrup
2 tablespoon cooking oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

BOILING

1 tablespoon molasses

SHAPING & TOPPING

Cooking oil for your hands
sesame seeds, poppy seeds, chia seeds, onion seeds and/or sea salt flakes

Instructions

Line baking sheet with parchment.
Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl of a stand mixer. Mix to combine evenly.
In a large pyrex measuring cup whisk wet ingredients to combine.
Turn stand mixer to low and mix dry ingredients for 30 seconds. With mixer on slowly add wet ingredients. When combined increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes. The dough will be quite sticky. Using a spatula push the dough down and mark it into 4 or 5 equal portions.
Grease your hands with vegetable oil to shape the bagels. Using your hands remove a portion of dough and roll into a smooth rope or shape into a smooth ball. Use your thumb make a hole in the centre. It can be quite large as it will get smaller when the dough rises.
Place bagels on baking sheet and put in warm oven. Let rise for about 40 minutes. They should be visibly puffed up.
While bagels are rising bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add molasses and stir.
Prepare sprinkles and set aside.
When bagels are ready remove from warm oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
One at a time, gently slip bagel into boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds per side then remove to wire rack using a slotted spoon.
Place boiled bagels back on baking sheet and generously sprinkle with desired toppings.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before eating.

Notes

Letting bread rise in the oven: Preheat oven by setting it to 200°F for 5 minutes, no more! It will not get to 200°F but will be just warm for the bagels to rise. If you forget to turn the oven off don’t put your bagels in it to rise.

Gluten free baked goods always need extra cooling time for the structure to set.
