How To Prepare Your Own Celiac Bagels

By Mary Edwards


Gluten free treats can be as tasty as any other. For example, you could make really tasty bagels. These popular treats are simple and easy to prepare. You will need only a few basic ingredients, dry yeast, sugar, gluten-free flour, salt, oil and water. Of course, this basic recipe can be tailored to your taste, especially when it comes to decorating and spicing your treats.

Although there are many different recipes, this recipe for celiac bagels is particularly simple. So, add two teaspoons of sugar into two cups of warm water, add two teaspoons of dry yeast and two cups of gluten free flour and mix well. Leave it like that for a few minutes, on some warm place. Mix three cups of gluten-free flour and two teaspoons of salt and gradually add to the batter.

If you think you should add more flour, you can, the point is to make one smooth, soft dough. You should cover it and leave it to rise. After maybe ten minutes or so, divide it into twelve parts. Form a nice little ring of each and place on a sheet to rise again. It will take for maybe ten minutes to rise slightly, covered with some cloth.

Boil the water with a little bit of oil. Simmer your dough rings in water for about forty seconds each. Place your cooked dough rings on a cloth or on paper towels to dry. Grease the baking sheet and preheat the oven. Place dough rings on baking sheet and bake for maybe fifteen to twenty minutes, until golden crust is formed on the top.

In many recipes you will find that people immediately mix the salt together with flour, yeast and sugar. When it comes to raised dough, sugar accelerates the action of yeast, and the salt slows it down. It is therefore better to mix the salt in later, when the yeast is already in action. This will speed up preparation, and your dough will rise much faster.

If you would like to make your bagels more tasty, you can use some whipped egg whites to coat the surface and sprinkle sesame or sugar on the top of each. Although these treats taste great as they are, they will be even better served with different spreads of your choice, for example with peanut butter or anything you find interesting.

For example, you can easily make one simple cream cheese spread. Combine your favorite cream cheese with a little bit of salt, garlic and chili powder, to make salty, spicy and delicious snacks. If you prefer sweet snacks, combine cream cheese with whipped cream and fresh fruits, or simply add dried cranberries in it, this is always a good combination.

Freshly prepared bagels are really delicious, and if you try them with peanut butter and apricot marmalade, you certainly won't be disappointed. And another thing, you can also replace half of the water with milk, to make your favorite treats even tastier. If you cover them with melted chocolate and sprinkle with ground nuts, they will really become simply irresistible.
