Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup super fine almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the topping:
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 ½ teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 320 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a baking mat or spray a bagel tray with nonstick spray.
  • Beat eggs in a medium bowl and add garlic powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Place mozzarella cheese in a saucepan with olive oil, place it over the stove and stir until is melted (this step can also be done in the microwave).
  • Place beaten eggs and melted mozzarella in a highspeed food processor for the mozzarella to combine with the eggs, this will result in a smooth batter.
  • Transfer the batter to the medium bowl and add the almond flour. Stir until a soft dough.
  • Form the bagels by shaping a ball, then press it down until it flattens a bit and finally makes a hole in the middle. Or alternatively, plce dough into a preapred bagel tray, prssing mixture down.
  • If you are not using a bagel tray, set the bagels in the prepared baking tray.
  • Beat the egg and brushed them all. This will give them a pretty golden appearance.
  • Sprinkle some poppy and sesame seeds all over the bagels.
  • Bake them for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let them cool before transfering.

Notes

These bagels can be kept in the fridge for up to a week but they’ll lose their tenderness. To improve their texture reheat them before serving.
