Bagles

[Deby]

I've been thinking of trying bagels since I read a post on here and realized it's been almost 4 years since I had one!

4 cups bette hagman's rice flour mix (the one with rice, potato starch and tapioca)

3 cups very warm water

2 tbsps ground golden flaxseed

2 tsps each salt, egg replacer, xanthan gum

2 1/2 tsp yeast

1/4 cup butter (could use oil I suppose)

1/4 cup sugar or honey

Mix all of this in a stand mixer with the whip attatchment. You could use a hand mixer too.

Let this rise until doubled.

add tapioca flour to stiffen dough a bit (I don't know how much, but you should add enough so that you can work with the dough, but not so much that it's really stiff.)

roll a golfball sized ball of dough out into a rope and join the two ends.

get a big pan of water boiling. Add sugar, oil, salt and a bit of starch to the water. I used my dutch over pan for this since it has a wide top.

pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

let the rolled bagels rest for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lower the bagels into the water. boil about 5 minutes, turning once.

Transfer to a sheet pan and bake 30 minutes. Turn all bagels once after 5 minutes of bake time for more even browning.

These were involved, but really good. Crisp on the outside and chewy in the inside. Granted, it's been a long time, but I think that's how a bagel should taste.

These do sound good, I tried the mix from Miss Robens and it didn't turn out.

I will try these for my son
