Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • ¼ cup + 2 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
  • ¼ cup + 1 teaspoon all purpose or bread flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or alter for the amount you prefer
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl combine all the dry ingredients. If you would like to add in additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, etc add in now as well.
  • Then add in the apple cider vinegar and water. Mix together until you get a sticky, dough ball. Use the back of a utensil or your finger to make a hole in the center and carefully spread into a bagel shape. This isn't a typical bread dough so do not worry if it feels very soft and the shape isn't smooth.
  • To air fry: place the bagel in air fryer basket and then air fry at 350°F for 17 to 20 minutes or at 390°F for 13 to 15 minutes for a quicker time. It should be golden brown and on the outside. *Everyones air fryer and oven work differently so you may need to adjust cooking time and temp.
    To bake: bake at 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Depending on how your oven runs. If it is your first time baking them, check them around the 18 minute mark and see how they look. They should be golden brown on top. If I am making more than 1 bagel I like to have them touching in the baking pan. It helps them to rise better and then you can rip them apart once they are cooled.
  • Once it is done baking allow it to cool for ideally at least 15 minutes to set in the middle. However, if you are hungry or in a rush I have cut it in half 1 to 2 minutes right after it comes out, it may just be a little doughy and steamy (which I personally don't mind).
  • Use however you like and enjoy.

Notes

  • Nutrition facts are based on my gram measurements put into Cronometer. Yours may vary, they are to help you get an idea.
  • This recipe is designed to make 1 bagel. The serving size of this recipe is for 1 bagel. You can scale up the serving size in the recipe card to adjust how many bagels you would like to make. So, if you want to make 4 bagels scale the serving size up to 4.
  • For this recipe you can use either all purpose flour or bread flour it doesn't change the macros at all and there isn't too much of a difference in the end result.
  • You can also make these just into a ball or bun style by not making the circle in the center and then you can use it for sandwiches or burgers.
