In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum, then add instant yeast, sugar, and salt, stirring to mix the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mix warm water, vegetable oil, and honey until well combined. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Briefly knead the dough in the bowl with oiled hands for about 2 minutes until smooth and firm. It should be slightly tacky yet manageable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and create a hole in the center by pressing your thumb through, gently stretching the dough to form a ring.
Place formed bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Cover with a damp towel and let them rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Bring a large pot of water to boil, adding a tablespoon of sugar for a sheen on the bagels during baking.
Carefully drop 2-3 bagels at a time into the boiling water, cooking each side for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drain, and place them back on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white and use a pastry brush to glaze each bagel. Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving.
