Basic bagel recipe
Gluten-free
Here's a basic bagel recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 4 ½ cups gluten-free flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Toppings of your choice (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc.)
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and stretch it out to form a bagel shape.
7. Once the water is boiling, gently drop the bagels in, boiling them for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
8. Remove the bagels from the water using a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with your desired toppings.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Let the bagels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade bagels!
