Working With Our Gluten Free Bread Flour Recipe
This recipe is made with gluten free bread flour, which is made by adding whey protein isolate and Expandex modified tapioca starch to Better Batter gluten free flour or my mock Better Batter blend.
Baking bread with even my favorite all purpose gluten free flour blend, Better Batter, is used to make batter-style gluten free bread, like our gluten free white sandwich bread. That sort of gluten free bread dough doesnt look or behave anything like conventional yeast bread when its raw or even when its baking.
Baking with gluten free bread flour is an experience much more like what you might expect when youre baking conventional yeast bread. The dough isnt overly wet like the batter-style of bread. I
If youve ever made a batter-style gluten free bread, which absolutely still has its place in my heart, the moment you make this bread dough youll see how different it is.

Is There A Flavor Of Bagel Youve Been Missing That You Cant Buy Gluten

Any of flavor that Im forgetting?
Look no further if youve been eyeing that 2 ingredient dough getting tossed around the internet. If you tried it and were disappointed, the egg and whole fat yogurt from my experience will turn your opinion around and have you making gluten-free bagels in no time.
Tips To Making The Perfect Bagels When Making From Scratch
- Do not over mix the dough. Its best if you use a fork while mixing it together. Itll help combine quicker then if using a spoon which can sometimes can over mix the dough.
- Whip your egg before adding to the dough.
- How long to bake those bagels? Depending on the size of your bagels and oven the outside may be cooked but the inside slightly uncooked. The best way I found to avoid this from happening is cooking with the information below and if they are slightly uncooked place them back into the oven with the temperature off on the bottom oven rack. Allow them to sit in there for about 5-10 minutes. This should help bake them chewy on the inside and a browned inside without burning.

How To Store Homemade Bagels
I recommend storing these bagels in an airtight sealed bag. When youre sealing the bag, squeeze out all of the air so that your bagels stay extra fresh.
You can either refrigerate your bagels for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
To reheat, simply toast them or bake them for a few minutes in the oven!

What To Serve On Your Bagels
I personally love a smear of vegan cream cheese. My favorite vegan cream cheese to use is Kite Hill.
However, if you want a sweeter route, I highly recommend smearing a pat of vegan butter and sprinkling with a bit of cinnamon, sea salt, and a drizzle of maple syrup! My favorite vegan butter to use here is Forager Project.
If youre not nut-free, you can also use almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, or the like. Even coconut butter would be lovely!

What Makes A Gf Bagel Not Just A Roll With A Hole
Although they dont have to rise before they go in the oven, these bagels do indeed have to be boiled in a molasses bath after shaping and before baking.
No boiling, no bagels. Its as simple as that.
Im from New York and youre just going to have to trust me. If you want an actual bagel and not just a roll with a hole, set some water to boil and nobody gets hurt.
How you take your bagel is like how you take your coffee. Everyone has a signature.
Whether you take your bagel with a schmear or a pat of butter, and whether youre an everything bagel sort or prefer yours plain, this no rise bagel recipe is heaven-sent.
Gluten Free Dairy Free Bagels
If youre dairy-free, Im afraid this recipe isnt a good choice. The butter in the recipe can be replaced rather easily with one of the excellent vegan butter substitutes available. My favorites are Miyokos Kitchen and Melt brands.
But the real issue is the whey protein isolate that forms an important part the gluten free bread flour blend that makes these bagels so authentic. You can try replacing whey protein isolate with rice protein isolate or pea protein isolate, but then you must multiply the water in this recipe by 150% and the dough will never be quite the same.
If youd like to make something very similar, but with an all purpose gluten free flour in place of bread flour, we have another recipe for that. Try our recipe for gluten free plain bagels.

Shaping & Boiling The Vegan Bagels
You might see some people roll the bagel dough into a long cylinder than pinch it together to make it into a bagelthere is a much better way to do this thats actually a lot easier.
Plus your bagels will look more bagel-y
Simply divide your proofed dough into 8 even sections. I like to use my pastry cutter. Roll each section into a ball, and lightly press your thumb into the middle of the dough.
You dont want a gaping hole, or else your bagels will be sort of flimsy. Simply work your fingers around the dough to create a hole less than an inch wide.
Less is more here.
Then well boil them! To boil the bagels, simply bring a large pot of water to a boil. Use either a spatula or a large spoon with holes in it for draining, and carefully transfer a bagel into the boiling water. It should float.
Youll cook the bagel for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, flipping it over with the spatula or spoon. Once cooked, transfer it back to the parchment paper and repeat for the remaining bagels!

Ingredients For Yeast Free Gluten Free Bagels
Now, the ingredients to make entirely vegan and gluten free bagels without yeast is similar, but slightly different:
- Oat flour: you can make your own homemade oat flour, like I did here, or you can purchase store bought. If making your own, youll notice that the bagels look more rustic. If you want the bagels to look more traditional , you can use store bought oat flour, which is finer.
- Arrowroot powder: I recommend sticking with arrowroot powder here over cornstarch, as cornstarch wont achieve the exact same texture that were going for in gluten free bagels.
- Baking powder: to help the bagels still rise.
- Warm water: this will help activate the arrowroot powder.
- Dairy free yogurt: keep this room temperature as well, so that the arrowroot powder can start to activate before being boiled.
How To Make Homemade Vegan Bagels
Making these oil free vegan bagels is a lot easier than you might think! It can be broken down into three basic sections: making the dough, shaping and boiling the bagels, and finally, baking the bagels!

The Power Of Fresh Bagels Gluten Free
Piping hot, fresh bagels are kind of like donuts. You dont even realize how much you love them until they suddenly feel beyond reach.
That feeling of going into a bagel shop and coming out with a brown bag filled to the top with everyones favorite kind of bagel, still warm from the oven?
Just because you cant do that any more doesnt mean you cant have piping hot, fresh bagelseven if you havent planned ahead. Whenever we have a sleepover guest at my house, whether its my niece and nephew or one of my kids friends, I feel like I simply must make a kid-friendly breakfast thats still kind of impressive.
I cant tell you how many times Ive set an alarm for 5 am just to be able to get that done by the time the first child rolled out of bed. But with these no rise gluten free bagels, I need less than an hour and can even whip up a batch on a moments notice.

Chewy + Soft Vegan Bagel Ingredients
These homemade vegan bagels are entirely oil free, egg free, dairy free, and nut free . Theyre super simple in ingredients so that anyone can make these homemade bagels!
- Instant yeast: I like to use instant yeast here so that we can make these bagels faster!
- Warm water: youll need the water to be 110F to properly activate the yeast.
- Coconut sugar: very similar to brown sugar, which many use to make homemade bagels. I wanted these vegan bagels to be completely refined sugar free though, so we used coconut!
- Flour: you can use all purpose or bread flour here. Bread flour is recommended over all purpose, but youll still achieve a very good chewy and dense soft vegan bagel.
- Arrowroot powder: this helps get that chewy texture!
- Dairy free yogurt: these vegan bagels are completely oil free, but when testing them without the yogurt, I found them to not be as enjoyable. The yogurt adds an extra dense-ness to the bagels that makes them irresistible!
