Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free bread flour blend
• 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Sesame seeds (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free bread flour blend, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, 2 tablespoons of honey, eggs, and vegetable oil until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing them together with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook until a dough forms.

Step 4

Once combined, knead the dough on a floured surface (using additional gluten-free flour if necessary) for about 5 minutes, until it's soft and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the remaining tablespoon of honey and the brown sugar to the water.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then shape each ball into a doughnut shape by poking your thumb through the center and gently stretching it out.

Step 9

Boil each bagel for about 1 minute on each side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Sprinkle the boiled bagels with sesame seeds to cover the tops generously.

Step 11

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until they have a golden-brown crust.

Step 12

Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
