A healthier version for homemade bagels. They're not as fluffy but they're so good.
Ingredients
  • 250gr Spelt Flour (I use whole spelt organic flour)
  • 1 Tbsp Dry Yeast
  • 1 ½ Tbsp White Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ½ Cup Lukewarm Water + 2 Tbsp
  • 2 tbsp Butter – Melted for brushing on top
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, oil, xanthan and salt.
  2. Add in the water gradually while mixing. You may need a bit more or a bit less water depending on your flour. You should get nice soft dough that is a bit sticky.
  3. Cover the bowl with cling wrap or kitchen towel and let the dough rest and rise for about 30-40 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350F (180C) and prepare bagel (regular not mini) pan (brush with some oil first).
  5. Divide the dough into 6 pieces and using oily hands create a ring from each of the pieces (bagel shape) and place in the bagel baking pan.
  6. Brush the tops gently with some melted butter and let the bagels rest for another 10 minutes.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven.
Notes
**Note that not using the Xanthan Gum makes a crumbly, more fragile result**
