[Guest guest]

, Here is a recipe I have not made but keep intending to. It sounds

good, easy, and versatile. Good luck,

Bagels and Soft Pretzels Makes 10 to 12 bagels

3 cups flour (1+1/2 cup bean plus 1+1/2 cup tapioca)

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

2 teaspoons Knox gelatin

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp dry yeast (Red Star Quick Rise)

1/2 tsp salt

1 or 2 eggs

1 cup CF milk

1 1/2 tbsp cooking oil

Blend all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix until dough reaches a

creamy texture. Let rise about 1/2 hr.

Beat down after first rise. Work on rice floured surface. Form shapes.

BAGELS: Roll the dough into 5 or 6 inch ropes and form into circles.

Moisten ends & pinch together.

PRETZELS: Roll dough into 1-inch thick ropes and twist into shape.

Let rise 10 minutes.

Slide into a pot of boiling water - 1 minute on each side. Using a

slotted spoon remove from boiling water and place on an oiled cookie

sheet.

Sprinkle with salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic or your favorite

seeds.

Bake at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Freeze what you

do not need immediately.

Cinnamon & Raisin: 1-tsp cinnamon and 1/2 cup raisins.
