Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup egg whites (about 2 large eggs)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
3. Add the olive oil, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and frothy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
6. Using your fingers, poke a hole through the center of each dough ball and gently stretch it into a bagel shape. Ensure the hole is at least 1 inch in diameter.
7. Place the shaped bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 minutes.
8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the bagels, 2 at a time, and boil them for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them back on the baking sheet.
10. Brush the tops of the bagels with the egg whites.
11. Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
12. Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
