Bagels!

[Passygassy]

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!

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
