How to make Paleo Bagels Recipes

Paleo Bagels

Prep Time: 20 mins

Cook Time: 25 mins 

Ingredients:

Dough

-       1 ½ cups cassava flour

-       1 ½ cups arrowroot flour

-       6 whole eggs

-       6 tablespoons palm oil shortening (equivalent to ⅜ cup, but 6 tablespoons is more common to use)

-       3 tablespoons maple syrup

-       1 ½ tablespoons water

-       1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

-       1 ½ teaspoons sea salt

Topping:

-       3 tablespoon black sesame seeds or any type of seeds

-       optional egg wash (1 egg mixed + 1-3 teaspoons dairy free milk or water)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In large mixing bowl, combine all the dough ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. Divide the dough into four equal portions.

4. Fill a large saucepan halfway with water (about 2 quarts) and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady simmer.

5. Roll each portion of dough into a ball, then shape it into a bagel. If the dough sticks to your hands, wet your hands slightly to make shaping easier.

6. Carefully drop one bagel at a time into the simmering water. Let each bagel cook for 1 minute per side, or until it floats to the surface.

7. Remove the boiled bagels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with egg wash to give them a golden finish, and sprinkle sesame seeds over them for added flavor.

8. Bake the bagels at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
