Ingredients

• 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Egg white
• 0.5 tablespoon Coarse salt for topping
• 2 tablespoons Baking soda
• 8 cups Water for boiling

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough briefly in the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 90 minutes or until it has roughly doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 6

Shape each portion into a ball, then use your thumb to create a hole in the center of each ball, forming a bagel shape.

Step 7

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.

Step 8

Carefully drop each bagel into the boiling water, boiling them for 1 minute on each side. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 9

Remove the bagels from the water using a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the top of each bagel with the egg white, then sprinkle with coarse salt.

Step 11

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Step 12

Cool on a wire rack before serving.
