HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE BAGELS

Mixing the Batter and Shaping the bagels

• In a medium bowl, mix yeast, brown sugar, and milk.
• Allow yeast to proof for 10 minutes or until you begin to see foam on the surface of the wet mixture
• In a separate large bowl, mix gelatin, salt, xanthan gum, baking powder, brown rice flour, potato starch, white rice flour, tapioca starch, and mix until well combined.
• After the yeast has proofed, add in the coconut oil, and the egg to the wet mixture and mix until well incorporated.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, and mix until well combined.
• If the batter is too soft, place it into a piping bag or a zip-lock bag with an about an inch or so hole in diameter at one corner of the bag. Pipe batter into a bagel shape directly onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. If your batter is too thick, you can rub your hands with some vegetable oil, take some of the batter, and shape it into a log 1 inch thick in diameter. Connect the log at the two ends to form a doughnut shape. Repeat this step with the remaining batter.
• If the batter is not too soft, you can easily shape it with your hands. First roll it into a log, and then connect the log at the end points. How soft, or how malleable the dough is – is dependent on the surrounding temperature.
• Transfer the baking sheet into a freezer. Make sure the baking sheet is leveled so that the batter does not shift. Freeze bagels for 3 hours.

Boiling and Baking the Gluten Free Bagels

• Preheat oven to 420 F

• After the bagels have been in the freezer for three hours, in a large pot, bring the 5 ½ cups of water into a boil. Turn the heat to medium-high. Add in the 1 tablespoon of molasses, and 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the boiling water. Reduce heat accordingly to prevent the water from boiling over as this may happen after adding the baking soda into the boiling water.
• Boil 1 bagel at a time in the solution that we have just made. 30 seconds on each side.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove bagel from boiling water, and drop into an ice bath for 10 seconds.
• Remove bagel from the ice bath. Drain well, and place onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat.
• Sprinkle bagels with your favorite toppings (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc.)
• Repeat the same process with remaining bagels.

• Bake at 420 F for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven. Keep the bagels in the hot oven, but place them on the top rack and let them bake in the turned off oven for an extra 10 minutes.
