Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (168g) Super fine Almond Flour
  • 2 cups (225g) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Full fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1 large Egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prep. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients. Whisk the 1.5 cups almond flour and 1 tbsp baking powder in a small bowl.
  3. Melt the Cheese. Place 2 cups mozzarella and 2 tbsp cottage cheese in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Incorporate the Egg. Stir one room temperature egg into the melted cheese mixture.
  5. Mix the Dough. Add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture. Use a spatula to fold and press until a uniform dough forms without white streaks.
  6. Hand Kneading. If the dough feels lumpy, turn it out onto a piece of parchment and knead it for about 1 minute. Note: Your hands should be slightly damp to prevent sticking.
  7. Divide and Shape. Split the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a log and join the ends to form a ring. until you have a smooth, even bagel shape.
  8. Apply Egg Wash. Whisk the remaining egg and brush it liberally over the tops of each bagel.
  9. Season Heavily. Sprinkle the 2 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning over the top.
  10. Bake to Perfection. Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Bake until the bagels are deeply golden and firm to the touch.
