Equipment

  • 1 Kitchen Scale
  • 1 Stand Mixer optional
  • 2 large baking sheets
  • 1 large pot
  • 1 wire rack

Ingredients

  • 20 g cane sugar
  • 325 g warm water
  • 20 g whole psyllium husk
  • 160 g tapioca flour
  • 120 g millet flour
  • 120 g sorghum flour
  • 10 g salt
  • 300 g gluten-free sourdough starter active
  • 1 tbsp baking soda for boiling
  • 1 tbsp molasses for boiling

Instructions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add the sugar, water, and psyllium husk to a 2-cup glass measuring cup and stir quickly to prevent clumping. Set aside to let gel while you weigh the dry ingredients.
    20 g cane sugar, 325 g warm water, 20 g whole psyllium husk
  • Add the tapioca flour, millet flour, sorghum flour, and salt to a medium sized mixing bowl. Use a fork or whisk to combine.
    160 g tapioca flour, 120 g millet flour, 120 g sorghum flour, 10 g salt
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the sourdough starter and psyllium gel. Use a dough whisk to combine. Then add the dry ingredients.
    300 g gluten-free sourdough starter
  • Place the bowl on a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until fully combined and no dry flour remains in the bowl. If it looks dry add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the correct consistency.
  • Turn the dough out onto your counter and shape into a round ball. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces (about 124g each).
  • Shape each piece by rolling the dough with the palm of your hand to get a rope, then connect the ends of the rope to form a bagel shape.
  • Place each bagel on the parchment lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at warm room temperature for 1 hour (if your house is very warm, 30 minutes can be enough) and then transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, take the bagel dough out of the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature while you complete the next step.
  • Preheat your oven to 425℉. Then fill a large pot with 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet and set it near the pot.
  • Add the baking soda and molasses. Then boil the bagels 3 at a time for 30 seconds on each side. Once done, transfer the boiled bagels to the wire rack.
    1 tbsp baking soda, 1 tbsp molasses
  • After you have boiled all 8 bagels, place them back on the parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Let the bagels cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
