Comment on Easy Gluten-Free Vegan Bagels by Chantal.
Hi Jennifer! Of course, you can! After you add about 3/4 cup GF sourdough starter to the ingredients, mix everything well and let your dough rise for a few hours in the bowl. Proceed to shape the bagels like in the yeasted version and then consider letting your bagels rise for 1 to 2 hours (maybe more) before boiling and baking them. If not, they will be dense, like in the picture I shared in the post. That picture of the sourdough version was after only 2 hours of rising/rest time for the dough. It wasn’t enough for the naturally yeasted sourdough ones. Does that make sense? They taste good, but they need more time to rise in the bowl and then again after once shaped. Or just try GF baking powder and omit the yeast altogether. That version still needs to rest for 2 hours before shaping, boiling and baking! Let me know what you do decide to try!

Hi Bobbie! The bagel recipe is a great one! I hope you try it! In the yeast-free test for this bagel recipe, I did use GF baking powder which includes baking soda. I did not test adding baking soda to the boiling water. I was too afraid of how the GF dough might react in the water with baking soda. The boiling process works well without baking soda. If you do try it, please come back and let us know how it did. You could always test most of the batch without, and for the last few bagels, add baking soda to your water to test the difference. Take notes and see what happens. Experimenting is the way to go if you’re curious and don’t mind trying! Have fun!

Hi Angela! Yay! I’m so happy you made the bagels! They are fun to make and even better to eat! As for the sinking/floating part… kind of funny, actually 😉 I feel that a few minutes on each side is sufficient. Thank you for your comment and rating! Ps. Now, I’m hungry for a bagel!

Homemade Maple Cream with Stand Mixer
Hi Cara! Ideally cool to 90 degrees. It might take longer to stir and transform into cream if the syrup is still too hot. You’re probably getting my reply too late… what did you end up doing? Or did it work for you to stir at the slightly higher temperature.
Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi June! I think I might of answered your question on a different platform but I’ll answer here again in case it can help someone else. You can definitely mix in the roughly mashed banana with some add-ins like nuts after the blending step. It creates a more textured bread instead of a smoother texture but it is equally delicious.
Nutritious Gluten-Free Vegan Zucchini Quick Bread (Oil-Free)
Hi Ann! Did you use a preheated Dutch oven to bake the bread? With this recipe, ensuring your oven is preheated as well as a large Dutch oven really helps with the moisture.The smaller grated zucchini is fine. Did you use whole psyllium husk? Was your yogurt very thin?
Yeast-Free Buckwheat Blender Bread
Hi Megan! This is a reply that I shared with another baker with the same question.
I did test the recipe with buckwheat flour, but the results weren’t as great but comparable. I’ve been looking for my notes as I tested this variation before the holidays. The idea would be to use 175g of light buckwheat flour to replace the 175g of buckwheat groats with enough water to moisten the mixture. You’ll need at least one cup of water, possibly a bit more. I would still use a blender to help blend/purée all the ingredients into a smooth batter-like dough. If you try it before I find my notes or try it again, please share your results with us.
7-Inch Sourdough Boule (GF/V)
Hi Lisa! With the cassava flour sourdough starter did you change any other ingredients in the bread recipe? It’s possible that using a grain-free starter such as cassava starter could have contribute to a dough texture with more moisture. Did you try again after this attempt? I realize you posted your comment a few months ago but I’m just seeing it now.
