Weight Watchers Gluten Free Bagels | GF 2 Ingredient Dough
Made with the famous gluten free 2 ingredient dough, these gluten free Weight Watchers-style gluten free bagels have only 3 WW points per serving, and are delightfully chewy and yeasty tasting—without any yeast.
Servings: 6 small bagels
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose gluten free flour blend (I recommend Better Batter (or my mock blend) or Better Than Cup4Cup—both recipes in the link), plus about 1 tablespoon more (9 g) for sprinkling
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your blend already contains it
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup nonfat Greek-style plain yogurt chilled
- 1 egg white chilled
- Egg wash 1 egg + 1 tablespoon lukewarm water, beaten (optional)
- Toppings optional like sesame seeds, poppy seeds or Everything But the Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, place the flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt, and whisk to combine. Add the yogurt, and mix until combined.
- Depending on the moisture content in your yogurt, the dough may still not hold together fully. If necessary to bring the dough together, add the egg white (or a bit more yogurt) by the teaspoonful.
- Mix to combine until the dough holds together well.
- Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface and knead it with clean hands until it’s a bit smoother. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions (each a bit more than 2 ounces in weight).
- Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll each into a ball between your cupped palms and/or by rolling on the lightly floured surface. Add a bit more flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Even when shaped, the dough will seem somewhat uneven.
- Press each round of dough into a disk about 1/2-inch tall and, with a floured forefinger, create a hole in the center and rotate the dough to increase the size to about 1-inch. Reshape the dough around the hole if necessary.
- Place the shaped pieces of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the optional egg wash and top with the optional toppings.
- Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven and bake, rotating once during baking, until the bagels are puffed and golden brown all over, about 22 minutes.
- Allow to cool briefly on the baking sheet before slicing and serving.
- Leftovers can be sliced and stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 days (to maintain moisture, add a moistened paper towel to the bag) or sealed in a freezer-safe container for longer storage.
