Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 packet (2 and 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F to 115°F)
• 1 Egg
• 1 as needed Cooking oil spray
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 8 ounces Lox (smoked salmon)
• 2 tablespoons Capers
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Step 3

Add the frothy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Lightly beat the egg and add to the dough. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each into a ball. Use your fingers to create a hole in the center to form the bagel shape.

Step 6

Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Allow them to rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 8

Boil a large pot of water. Carefully drop each bagel into the boiling water for 1 minute on each side. Remove and place them back on the parchment paper.

Step 9

Lightly spray each bagel with cooking oil spray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

Let the bagels cool slightly after baking.

Step 11

Slice each bagel in half and spread a generous amount of cream cheese on each side.

Step 12

Top with slices of lox, a few capers, and thin slices of red onion.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh dill before serving.
