FAQs
Q: Can I make these bagels without eggs?
A: Yes. Skip the egg wash and brush with a little milk or oil for color.
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?

Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: They should be golden brown on top and sound slightly hollow when tapped.
Q: Can I make more than 4 bagels?
A: Yes. Double or triple the recipe and adjust baking sheets as needed.
Q: Can I add mix-ins like herbs or onion?
A: Yes. Fold in small amounts of herbs, chopped onion, or cheese into the dough before shaping.
