Make Your Own Celiac Bagels

By Patricia Hamilton


If you do not tolerate gluten, it is not easy for you to find delicious and convenient substitutions for your favorite treats. Such food is mostly expensive, and sometimes it can not be said that it is delicious. Some bakeries offer delicious products, but you can always try to bake them yourself.

Although most bakeries offer a large variety of breads, the one prepared in your own kitchen will surely be the most delicious. You do not have to have your own bread maker to prepare excellent bread. Making delicious celiac bagels is also very easy, and you will surely enjoy your products endlessly. Not to mention the perfect aroma of freshly made bread in your home.

Of course, the basic food for preparing this treat is high quality gluten-free flour. You can use your favorite type or combine several different types until you find the one that suits you best. With a small amount of gluten-free starch, your treats will be even lighter and more delicious. Also, you will need some dry yeast, some baking powder, a little bit of milk, salt and lukewarm water.

To begin with, prepare this simple recipe. Mix three cups of gluten-free flour, 2 teaspoons of dry yeast, and half a teaspoon of baking powder. Add a little sugar, salt, two tablespoons of oil, lukewarm milk and lukewarm water, and make soft dough. Cover with a cloth and allow it to rise for about half an hour.

Make circles and cut hole in each. Place them on a piece of oiled baking paper, and leave them there to rise again. Cook for about twenty seconds in boiling salted water and put them back on oiled baking paper. Preheat the oven and bake your bagels for maybe 20 minutes. It really depends on their size.

If you add some interesting ingredients into the dough, you will make it tastier. So, use any type of seeds, for example pumpkin seeds, sesame, different grains, or maybe chopped nuts. Poppy seeds are especially interesting addition, in salty or sweet bagels. Sweet ones will be great with chopped dry fruits, ginger, cinnamon or vanilla. Just imagine them with chocolate dressing while still warm.

Eggs will make your dough richer. If you don't like the idea of adding eggs in your dough, and you would like to add some proteins in, just add some chia seeds in your dough. Simply soak some seeds in lukewarm water first, and then add this mixture while preparing the dough. You will get valuable proteins your body needs, and it won't change the flavor.

If your basic idea is to make perfect little sandwiches, use your imagination to make those sandwiches even more tasty. For example, add some herbs and spices, chopped hot chili peppers, dried tomatoes, sage or oregano. I this case, it's nice to replace the fat with good quality olive oil. You could also add some grated cheese, and in this case make sure to use olive oil. Combine and enjoy, it's easy, interesting and above all tasty.
