FAQs
1. Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour? No, this recipe is specifically designed for gluten-free flour. Using regular flour will change the texture and result in gluten formation.
2. How do I know when the bagels are done? The bagels should be golden brown on the outside and cooked through. You can check by cutting one open to see if it is fluffy and not doughy inside.
3. Can I make these bagels in the oven? Yes, you can. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake them on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them as oven times can vary.
