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!

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 :)

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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
