While at the library this weekend, I came across a copy of Paleo Cooking from Elana's Pantry cookbook of gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free recipes by Elana Amsterdam. Within it's pages I was intrigued by a gluten free bagel recipe and put it aside on a pile of take-home and try cookbooks.

The photography in this book is delightful and quickly got me imagining how much I can save if I made my own gluten-free bagels. Aww, what a foolish dreamer I am.
They look nowhere as appealing and they taste awful. A total epic failure and an expensive experiment. Amsterdam credits the recipe to Jenni Hulet, author of the blog The Urban Poser but I'm unable to find this recipe on her website. Instead, Hulet's blog does contains a recipe for Paleo Sourdough mini bagels and the recipe doesn't resemble Amsterdam's in the slightest.

The only liquid called for in Amsterdam's bagel recipe is from the apple cider vinegar and eggs act as a binding agent. Hulet's recipe calls for less eggs and 1/2 cup of water which makes me question if there is a missing ingredient?
I could experiment some more and try adding water to Amsterdam's recipe but I think I'm just going to move on and try a different bagel recipe altogether. Until then, it's gluten free store bought ones to keep me going.
