Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix warm water and yeast; let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Knead the dough gently until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a bagel ring.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add baking soda.

Boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove and drain.

Place bagels on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle bagels with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
