Ingredients

• 2.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 egg white
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 3 quarts boiling water
• 2 tablespoons baking soda

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free oat flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and xanthan gum.

Step 2

Add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough gently for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Bring the 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add the baking soda.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds generously over the top of each bagel.

Step 11

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
