Gluten Free Everything Bagel Thins

I am so excited to share this recipe with you all today. Having to give up gluten definitely can be hard and there are a few things that we do miss from time to time. Bagels are a big one. So, I started playing around with techniques and ingredients to create these tasty little Everything Bagel Thins. Don’t let the ingredient list scare you. I’ve simplified the technique so they are really easy to put together. Start to finish these really only take about 2 hours to make and that’s including rise time. I love making these for brunch since you can either schmear them with your favorite bagel spreads or you can make sandwiches with them. I will sometimes bake some plain with just the egg wash on them so you can add sweet toppings, too. They slice beautifully or you can make a thicker sandwich with one that has toppings on it and a plain one. These bagel thins are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Perfect for your gluten free bagel craving!

Gluten Free Everything Bagel Thins

Makes 14

• 2 cups Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour
• 1/4 cup Pea Protein Flour
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 1 Tbsp Yeast
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 3/4 cup Water, warmed to about 100°F
• 1/2 cup Egg Whites
• 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp Honey
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Topping Mix:

• 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds
• 1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
• 1 Tbsp Dried Onion
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Coarse Salt

Egg Wash:

• 1 Egg White
• 1 Tbsp Water

In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour through salt. Next, add the water through olive oil and beat for 5 minutes with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes. On a parchment lined sheet pan, scoop 1/4-1/3 cup of dough onto the prepared pan. With wet hands, gently flatten the dough, making a slight dent in the center. Spray the tops with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise until doubled in size (about an hour). In a small bowl, combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onions, garlic powder, and salt. While preheating the oven, place a small pan of water in the oven and heat it to 425°F. When the dough has risen, whisk the egg white and water together. Carefully brush the tops of the bagel thins with the egg wash mixture. Evenly sprinkle the topping mix on the bagel thins. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
