Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cheese Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Tillamook Mozzarella Farmstyle Cut Cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
Other Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 5 strips pre-cooked bacon, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bagels.
- Prepare dry mixture: In a bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside this dry blend.
- Melt cheeses: Combine shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Make dough: In a large bowl, combine the dry flour mixture, beaten eggs, chopped bacon, and the warm melted cheese. Knead the mixture with your hands or a paddle attachment until it forms a sticky dough.
- Shape bagels: Divide the dough evenly into 8 parts. Roll each into a log shape with your hands, then bring the ends together to form a bagel ring. Place each on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the shaped bagels for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly browned and cooked through.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked bacon for convenience and better texture.
- Do not overbake to keep bagels soft and chewy.
- The dough will be sticky; use wet hands or a spatula to handle it easily.
- These bagels are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in the oven or toaster oven for best texture.
