Activate the yeast by stirring 1 tablespoon of caster sugar into 300 ml of warm water.

Add 14 grams of quick yeast to the water, stir, cover, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a separate bowl, combine 400 grams of gluten-free white bread flour, 2 teaspoons of xanthan gum, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Stir well and set aside.

Once the yeast is frothy, make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture.

Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon until it forms a thick dough.

Cover the bowl with cling film and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.

Prepare the everything bagel topping by mixing together 2-3 tablespoons of poppy seeds, 2-3 tablespoons of sesame seeds, onion salt, and garlic powder. Set aside.

After 1 hour, weigh out about 125 grams of dough for each bagel, dust your hands with flour to prevent sticking, and shape the dough into a flat circle with a hole in the middle.

Boil a large pot of salted water and drop in 2-3 bagels at a time. Boil for 1 minute, then flip and boil for another 40 seconds to 1 minute.

Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon, drain them, and place them on a lined baking sheet. Cover with a damp tea towel while boiling the remaining bagels.

Brush the boiled bagels with 1 beaten egg (or dairy-free milk for a vegan option) and sprinkle with the everything bagel topping.

Bake the bagels in the oven until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
