What Makes The Best Homemade Gluten-Free Bagel?

Not many bakeries offer a gluten-free bagel. That’s just the truth. Because of that, the only time I get to enjoy a bagel is when I make it from scratch. Through my bagel making experience, I’ve landed on a few specific criteria I must meet to make the best homemade gluten-free bagels.

I’ve perfected this recipe when the bagels are:

• Golden brown on the outside
• Soft and warm on the inside
• Topped with my current craving (usually everything bagel seasoning)

It’s a simple list to master and when you nail it, you know. If you follow the steps outlined below and in our Tide & Thyme recipe card, you’ll be well on your way to making the best gluten-free bagel.

Ingredients Needed To Make A Homemade Gluten-Free Bagel

There are few ingredients needed to make this easy gluten-free bagel recipe. Most people have all the ingredients at their home. However, if you need to head to the store, here are the few simple ingredients you need to grab.

Bagels

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons organic honey
• 1 1/4 cup gluten-free flour I use Bob’s Mill 1 to 1 baking flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

Toppings

• egg for egg wash
• brown sugar and cinnamon to taste for a cinnamon bagel
• everything bagel seasoning to taste for an everything bagel
• sesame seeds to taste for a sesame bagel
• sea salt to taste for a plain bagel

How To Make A Homemade Gluten-Free Bagel

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add wet ingredients in a large bowl (melted butter, Greek yogurt, and honey).
3. Add in dry ingredients and mix until combined (GF flour, baking powder, and sea salt).
4. Sprinkle flour on parchment paper. Place dough onto surface and gently divide dough into 4 equal portions.
5. Roll your equally divided dough sections into logs (about 6″ long and 1-1.5″ wide). Shape your dough into a circle creating the signature bagel shape.
6. Brush each bagel with egg wash and add topping of your choice.
7. Bake for 25-28 minutes until browned.
8. Let bagels cool for 3-5 minutes and enjoy!

Storing Your Leftovers

If you DO NOT eat all of your bagels in one sitting, I have a few tips for you. After baking and storing in the fridge, these bagels can get a bit soggy due to the soft, warm inside. I recommend letting your gluten-free bagels cool 100% before putting them in the fridge.

Additionally, I recommend slicing them in half before storing if you prefer your bagel sliced. Reason being, it can be hard to cut your bagel if it does become a bit soggy. They can end up falling apart.

Don’t hear what I’m not saying, these bagels can ABSOLUTELY be stored and enjoyed the next day. You just need to prep them before storing. When you’re looking to enjoy your gluten-free bagel the next day, pop it in the toaster already sliced and enjoy!
