Shopping List
-
For the Bagels
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (Note 1)
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for a chewier bagel) For Topping (optional)
- sesame seeds, everything seasoning, or jalapeño
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Add the almond flour and baking powder to a food processor. Pulse once to combine and set aside.
- Step 3: Heat the shredded cheese in a microwave or double boiler until it is melted and easy to stir. This should only take about 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning. Once melted, stir the cheese together with the yogurt until incorporated. If it hardens, place it quickly (10 seconds) in the microwave again to loosen.
- Step 4: Add the melted cheese mixture to the food processor with the flour blend. Pulse until the dough just combines.
- Step 5: Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each part into a ball. Poke your finger through the middle of the ball and use your hands to mold the dough into a bagel shape, smoothing it out as needed. Lightly wet your hands to reduce sticking. Place the shaped bagel on the lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining dough. Note: For an easier alternative, form these into rolls instead of bagels.
- Step 6: Sprinkle the bagels with any optional toppings and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the bagels are firm to the touch and golden. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy sliced and toasted with your favorite toppings.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: For the cheese, it is important to use a hard shredded variety. For example, a fresh soft mozzarella ball will not work - but a firm low-moisture shredded mozzarella will. Non-dairy cheese can also be used here if desired.
