Gluten Free Everything Bagel Bread Recipes

EASY GLUTEN FREE BAGEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk egg whites and honey together in a large mixing bowl. If baking from scratch, whisk all dry ingredients together in another bowl. Add either whisked dry ingredients or gfJules Gluten Free Bread Mix and yeast into the large bowl with egg whites and honey together with warm water, beating on low speed of your mixer using paddle attachment, or mix with a wooden spoon, by hand. Continue to mix until dough comes together easily and is firm but not tough. If you find that the dough is tough or too firm and very resistant when pulled apart, mix in more water, one or two tablespoons at a time until the dough is able to be shaped easily but is not too sticky or wet. Prepare a clean counter or pastry mat by lightly dusting with gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour or gluten-free cornstarch. Separate dough into 6 equal pieces. The dough should weigh approximately 800 grams once mixed, so each portion of dough should weigh approximately 130 grams. Roll each piece out gently into a ball and poke a hole in the center with your thumb, OR roll into a log 9 inches long and bring the ends together by scoring with a fork and wetting the ends with your finger before pressing together and smoothing. Cover with parchment or wax paper and set aside to rise in a warm place while bringing water to a boil. Prepare a large pot of water by adding 1 tablespoon baking soda and turning onto high flame/heat. Preheat oven to 425° F. Once water is at a full boil, gently drop bagels in, only boiling as many at one time as can boil without touching. Boil on each side for 30 seconds, then flip. Remove with a skimmer or slotted spatula and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet sprinkled with gfJules Flour to keep help absorb excess water and keep from sticking. Repeat with remaining bagels. If this process takes more than a few minutes, mist the bagels with water while waiting to boil or waiting to bake so that the dough doesn't dry out or harden. Sprinkle tops of bagels with any desired toppings and lightly spray with cooking oil. Bake on an oven rack that is in the upper portion of the oven. Bake for approximately 8 minutes, then flip and bake for another 8 minutes. Bagels are done when lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out dry or with dry crumbs attached. Makes 6 bagels. These are soft on day one and are better toasted or warmed thereafter.

GLUTEN-FREE EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAD

Steps:

• For the onion topping: Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Once the pan is nice and hot, add the coconut oil and the onions and stir frequently until translucent and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Set the onions aside. Combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt in a small bowl.
• For the bread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides of the pan. This will make it much easier to lift the bread out of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, dried onion flakes, poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, fine salt, baking soda and caraway. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the egg whites and cream of tartar (if you don't have a stand mixer an electric beater will suffice). Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, coconut oil and lemon juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet egg mixture in 3 small batches, making sure to thoroughly combine the dry mixture and the egg mixture each time. The batter will look like a very thick paste. Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong. Just make sure to break up any clumps of flour with a rubber spatula to ensure that the dry and wet ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Add a third of the whipped egg whites to the batter and slowly fold them in. This won't be a very easy task, take your time and know that eventually they'll combine. Add another third of the egg whites and fold. Finally, add the remaining egg whites and fold together; there should not be any chunks of batter left but the batter will never completely combine (white and yellow portions will remain).
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the batter with the sauteed onions and half the seed mixture. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use a knife to release the sides and lift the bread out using the parchment paper. Cool completely, about another 30 minutes.
• For the toast: Cut yourself a 1-inch slice of bread and give it a thin coat of cream cheese. Top with a layer of crispy cucumbers, and if you feel like it, top it with some of the reserved seed mixture!
