We tried these and didn't care for them . . . I'm sure covered with sauce and cheese and pepperoni they would be a LOT better!! :P

We really like the Glutino bagels!!!

That reminds my of one of my first gluten-free attempts last year. Bagels...they ended up in the trash ;)

The taste was ok, I just didn't have the technique down. Anyway, you might google the box above for lots of comments. I remember english muffin mini pizzas, so quick/chewy and delish! :P

This recipe sounds good if you want to make your own:

I absolutely love Joan's bagels and english muffins. We use the english muffins for buns and I would assume they'd make great pizzas. The bagels are out of this world (even my gluten eating friends and family think so too). Shipping is rather expensive so I do a bulk order every few months.

Joan's english muffins and bagels are by far the best I have ever had. The muffins taste like real english muffins!

I just tried Trader Joe's English Muffins Gluten/Dairy free.They are VERY good but as I'm finding they HAVE to be toasted which you do with English muffins anyways.I've been making sandwiches with them as they are pretty good sized....I was so happy to find these!!!!

I've made bagels numerous times using the Pamela's bread mix. The recipe or the bagels is right on the bag. I foud they were very good toasted for breakfast wth a topping and I made "bagel pizzas" all the time. The recipe was fairly easy- but ther were several steps and the dough had to rise - so make sure to allow enough time! :D

Same for me. They were the closest to "real" bagels I'd had in many years!

That said... I'm goin' over to check out Joan's... as today is the 8th!!!

be careful, a lot of the gluten free bagels out there taste like gritty dirt! no lie!

my favorite bagels are Glutino... they are crusty outside and soft inside just like a real bagel should be! as for english muffins, i've tried Joan's (which are very yummy, but VERY high in fat and calories). the best english muffins i've tried are Foods by George.... they are a taller muffin, but you can split it in half and toast it and put pizza toppings on it for sure... they are VERY light and soft and airy... truly delicious. i enjoy them most toasted with some peanut butter :-)

i've shared both glutino bagels and foods by george english muffins with non-celiac friends and they liked both but LOVED the english muffins :-)

All of the gluten-free english muffins and bagels have about the same amount of fat and calories. Joan's english muffins have fewer calories than Foods by George. Joan's does have 1.5 grams more fat but when you're in the 3.5-5g range I personally don't consider it much.

sorry, i was going off of memory on the Joan's product since i haven't had them in awhile. the foods by george english muffins are much larger and i'd find it hard to believe that they have much more calories. anyway, i was just offering my personal opinion on the products...

You're welcome. I love it when someone gives me a TNT recipe that I don't have to mess with until I get it right. So I'm happy to share the good ones with others.

About 4 months ago I had this exact same craving. Joan's great bakes came to the rescue! English muffin pizzas and bagels?! My celiac dreams have been answered!

Only drawback is Joan's bagels cook in oven. . by the time my oven heats up and the bagel cooks, I'm looking at a 1/2 hour breakfast, which just isn't practical given my love of the snooze-button!! -- great on weekends, though!

      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?
