Bagels!

Hello everyone!

I have recently bought a few cook books for baking (gluten free) and I have seen a couple different recipes for bagels in two of them, ( "Cook fast and healthy" by Bette Hangman and "You won't Believe it's Gluten Free" by Roben Ryberg) problem is I'm not sure which to use... I have been craving bagels for at least 2 weeks now but I am hesitant to make the ones I found in my recipe books. I have looked at a few different recipes online but I don't know which ones would taste similar to what I want without that weird after taste you sometimes get. I am looking for a dense chewy bagel. Soft and chewy on the inside. Thick that tears apart, I know it's a lot to ask since the gluten makes it chewy and doughy but oh how I miss them. After a year of being gluten free I am relatively new to this gluten free baking. After a year of rice noodles and meat I am finally venturing out to baked goods! YAY

I was wondering if any of you Cooking Mama's have a good chewy bagel recipe that doesn't have 1 million different flours in it. If not any tasted and true bagel recipe will more then please me.

My tummy thanks you in advance! :lol:

I have both of those books, and haven't tried any of the bagel recipes. I'm a little afraid of them. LOL

I will tell you though, that if you want some 'instant gratification' and can find them in a store near you, Glutino makes some dang good bagels. :) They'll be in your freezer section. I nuke 'em in the mircowave for about 40 seconds (defrost) then slice and toast. Mmmmmmm. I really missed bagels too.......until I found these.

Oh, and they come in a couple of different flavors!

Hello everyone!

Completely unrelated to your post, I have to tell you your name gave me BIG giggles!

ahh alas I suppose I will give them a try, I always find that what I bake gluten free usually tastes far better then store bought gluten free products. Maybe bagels are the exception to the rule :)

Against the Grain makes yummy bagels, too.

They're yummy, but they don't taste like bagels to me. They're just like the rolls they make but with holes in them. Very good for egg sandwichs, and a better value than the rolls packages.

Yah, I'm looking for the real deal...not an "attempt at a bagel" in prepackaged form. But I suppose I will make the recipes I have and see what happens.... I have gotten a lot of great recipes from here and I thought maybe someone had a bagel one laying around :)

The only time I made bagels, I used the Pamela's amazing wheat free bread mix bagel recipe. They were pretty good. From what I've read, the key is to boil them before the baking...

My non celiac wife and I swear by Joan's Bagels. I swear they taste like real bagels. One of these days i am gonna try the Pamela's bagel recipe because i love her cakes and breads and pancakes.

Well, the thing about Against the Grain is that they're not bad. Really, they're quite delicious. They're just not bagels. They're soft rolls with holes.

The Glutino bagels are pretty darned good though, dense and chewy and bagel-riffic.

Hi All,

here's my recipe for gluten-free Bagels, they may not be the prettiest thing to look at but,

believe me they have the right taste and texture.

.

Crunchy on the outside and soft and doughy inside.

I also like the Pamela's bread mix. The only thing I do different than the recipe is boil them longer than it calls for.

Sometimes I add cinnamon and raisins. Sometimes dried cranberries and walnuts. Yum!

I used this recipe a few days ago and was quite happy with the results. I used xanthan gum, not the other binders suggested. My only complaint with the recipe is that it doesn't make very much dough at all...I got a mere seven bagels from it, and they were quite small. I'd suggest doubling the recipe if you want any amount of results to show for yourself that have any size to them. Open Original Shared Link

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
