Bagels are probably the food I miss the most on a gluten free diet. Gluten free bagels just do not taste the same, and I have tried quite a few different brands. I never thought about making my own because I thought they were complicated. I came across this simple recipe looking for Weight Watcher recipes on Skinnytaste. Just 5 ingredients-flour, Greek yogurt, salt, baking powder and egg white! Doesn't seem possible, right? Super easy, fast and they are delicious! They are light, fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside.. AND, they are only 4 points on Weight Watchers freestyle plan versus 9 points for an Udi's gluten free bagel!!!! I don't think I will ever buy another packaged gluten free bagel again.
Gluten Free Bagels Print(Makes 4 bagels)
1 cup Gluten Free Flour (I used Bob's Red Mill 1 for 1 flour mix)
2 tsps baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 egg white, beaten
Optional toppings: I used sesame seeds, but you can top with everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use top rack.
Combine flour, salt and baking powder in bowl, add yogurt and mix together with fork until dough comes together. Move the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is no longer sticky. (this is quick about 10 kneads)
Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into a 3/4 inch ropes, join ends to form a bagel.
Bake for 25 minutes, tops should be golden brown. Cool before cutting.
