how to make Almond Flour Bagels
Ingredients :
- 2 cups fine blanched almond flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- Everything seasoning or seasoning of choice
Directions :
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the almond flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl. Mix to combine into a sticky, wet dough.
- Pour the dough onto a well-floured surface (regular flour or rice flour will work) and knead the dough using your hands for 1-2 minutes until it becomes less sticky and easier to handle. Then divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. You can use a knife or food mover to help with this.
- Form each section of the dough into a ball, then flatten each into a circle and press your thumb into the center to make a hole. You can also use the end of a wooden spoon for this. Lay the bagels 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheet.
- Crack the egg in a small bowl with a splash of water and whisk it lightly. Then lightly brush the egg wash on the tops and sides of each bagel. Add a sprinkle of everything seasoning or your topping of choice.
- Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until golden and fluffy, about 22-25 minutes.
- Once the bagels are done baking, remove them from the oven, transfer them to a cooling rack, and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. This step is important! They will continue to cook about 5% more as they cool.
- Slice and serve!
