This recipe is paleo bagel perfection! What makes it paleo? It’s grain-free, yeast-free, gluten-free and made with solely 100% complete meals substances. Don’t let that intimidate you although. It’s a tremendous straightforward recipe to create and it’s extremely rewarding making bagels from scratch.
The one choice you’ll have to make as soon as it’s baked is to eat it plain (sure, it’s that scrumptious) or to slather it with some nut or seed butter like I did, then high it with some bananas and uncooked honey. You’ve acquired the proper energy breakfast to gasoline you all morning or a day snack which is my daughter’s desire.
One of many keys to a profitable bagel is having the proper instruments. I used the brand new KitchenAid 7 Pace Cordless Variable Hand Mixer to combine the moist and dry substances into perfection – that is key to a well-mixed bagel. I like this hand mixer as a result of it’s cordless which I actually respect as a result of I’ve a condominium sized kitchen and retailers are usually not at all times in essentially the most handy spot. Even in case you aren’t constrained by a small house like I’m, the very fact it’s cordless provides you the liberty and house to make no matter you need, nevertheless you select!
You could be apprehensive it loses its cost rapidly however it could actually make as much as 200 cookies in a single go if it’s absolutely charged. Not that I might be making that many cookies anytime quickly, however if you’re, be at liberty to ship me some! KitchenAid truly simply launched a household of cordless small home equipment together with a hand blender, nice for mixing up soups and a meals chopper which I might be utilizing on a regular basis!
I’ll admit, I was intimidated making bagels from scratch however as soon as I began the experimentation it solely took me three tries to nail this one. That’s not too unhealthy? The experimental bagels had been nonetheless tasty!
I made these bagels with cassava flour and tapioca flour. Cassava, also referred to as yuca (to not be confused with a yucca plant) is definitely a root like a potato, it’s low on the glycemic index and it’s wealthy in insoluble fibre which is great for intestine well being. It’s additionally a prebiotic! Each these flours are wonderful selections in case you’re avoiding gluten and grains. You’ll find each these flours at your native well being meals retailer and chances are you’ll even discover them in an enormous field grocery retailer within the pure meals part. Failing that, undoubtedly examine on-line with Pure Feast in Canada or Thrive Market within the States.
While you’re mixing these flours collectively as a result of they’re so mild and ethereal, mud may fly up except you’re utilizing a huge bowl. That’s completely regular, it’s simply the character of the flour. That’s when an apron can turn out to be useful!
I took the additional step of boiling the bagels in scorching water earlier than baking them and I extremely suggest this as a result of it helps them to chewier and helps the crust set earlier than baking.
