Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-free bread flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 Egg white
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 8 cups Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free bread flour, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and honey until the honey dissolves.
Gradually add the honey-water mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously until a smooth dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is well combined and slightly sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Use your thumb to create a hole in the center of each ball, stretching gently to form a bagel shape. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Bring 8 cups of hot water to a boil in a large pot and add the baking soda. Reduce to a simmer.
Gently lower each bagel into the simmering water, cooking for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Brush over the tops of each bagel.
Bake the bagels for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing them horizontally and spreading cream cheese on each.
Serve warm and enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free cream cheese bagels!
