Servings:
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your gluten-free flour blend already includes it
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt thick, not runny
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
Finish & Topping
- 1 tablespoon milk for brushing
- 3 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly mist or rub with oil so the bottoms crisp without sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir the Greek yogurt with the olive oil and honey until smooth. Scrape this mixture into the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough in the bowl for 30–60 seconds just until cohesive (it will feel tacky but should not smear). Let the dough rest 5 minutes to hydrate for easier shaping.
- Divide into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a smooth ball, then poke a hole through the center with your thumb and gently stretch to a 2 to 2½-inch ring. Arrange on the prepared sheet with space between them.
- Brush the tops lightly with milk and shower generously with Everything Bagel seasoning so it adheres well.
- Bake on the center rack for 18–20 minutes until puffed and deep golden at the edges. For extra color, broil for 30–60 seconds at the end, watching closely.
- Cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing to set the crumb.
Notes
Cooking tip: If your yogurt is on the thin side, strain it for 10 minutes or stir in 1–2 extra tablespoons of flour until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Storage: Keep cooled bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 4 days; toast to refresh before serving.
