In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free oat flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and xanthan gum.
Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough gently for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center with your finger and gently stretch it to form a ring.
Bring the 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add the baking soda.
Boil each bagel for about 1 minute per side to achieve a chewy texture. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bagels from the water and drain thoroughly.
Place the boiled bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one with egg white to give them a nice shine and help the seeds adhere.
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds generously over the top of each bagel.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
