Ingredients
8 grams certified gluten-free instant yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature
2 1/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Large pot of water, for boiling
1 tablespoon brown sugar or molasses
1 egg white, for egg wash, or olive oil
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar, sprinkle in yeast, and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and yogurt-egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir for 2–3 minutes until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly grease a bowl, place dough inside, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled.
- Dust a work surface with gluten-free flour, shape dough into a log, and divide into 8 portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and form bagel shapes by poking a hole in the center.
- Let bagels rest for 5 minutes while preheating oven to 400°F and bringing a large pot of water with brown sugar or molasses to a boil.
- Boil bagels one at a time for 30 seconds per side, then remove with a slotted spoon.
- Brush tops with egg white or olive oil, sprinkle with seasoning, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
