These onion bagels are a fun savory bagel.  They'd be delicious topped as a smoked salmon bagel or just with cream cheese.  These are made and risen the same way as many of my savory bagel recipes, so you can look at those for extra pictures of the piped bagels and rising bagels.  Some of our favorite savory bagels are the everything bagel, the poppy seed bagel, the garlic & poppy seed bagel, the flavorful hearty bagel, and the jalapeno cheddar bagel.  I've posted plenty of sweet flavors, too!  Enjoy! 

Fresh from the oven - tasty onion bagels.

Onion Bagels

Makes ~18-24 bagels depending on size of bagel piped

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.  

In a measure cup, combine the following and let rest 5-10 minutes: 

1 1/4 cup warm water

6 Tbsp honey

1 Tbsp rapid rise/quick yeast

In a mixer combine: 

2 cup tapioca starch

1 1/2 cup brown rice flour

6 Tbsp potato starch

1 Tbsp xanthan gum

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp dried onion flakes (dried minced onion)

1-2 tsp onion powder (adjust depending on how strong you like your onion flavor)

For an even stronger onion flavor, finely mince or grate 1-2 Tbsp fresh shallots

Add and beat thoroughly for 3-4 minutes: 

yeast mixture, from above

6 Tbsp oil

3 eggs

Scoop into a large ziploc bag.  Cut 3/4" - 1" off the corner.  Pipe bagels onto prepared, parchment-lined baking pans.  I sometimes have to make ovals just to fit in all the bagels on two pans. Use 3 pans, if preferred.  

Brush/wipe the tops of the bagels with warm water.  Mix together and sprinkle on top of the bagels: 

1 tsp dried minced onion

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried chives

1/4 tsp salt

OR 

Use the Trader Joe's "onion salt" blend to top.

Let rise in a warm location for ~30 minutes until they've puffed up, but not doubled in size.  

Bake at 350 F for ~20-25 minutes, until bagels are nicely golden brown.  Too pale in color, and they'll sink/collapse a bit after you remove them from the oven.  Let rest a minute and then remove to cooling racks to cool.  

These are delicious with cream cheese & salmon, cream cheese, or used as a sandwich roll.  Once cooled, you can slice and then freeze leftovers.  They reheat perfectly in a toaster oven.  Enjoy!
