Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Toppings (optional)
- Poppy seeds or sesame seeds
- Dried rosemary or thyme for herbal twist
- Shredded plant-based cheese (plant-based)
- Chia seeds, sunflower seeds, or flaxseeds
- Garlic powder, onion flakes, sesame seeds, poppy seeds for everything bagel style
- Cinnamon and natural vanilla extract (natural) for sweet version
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, natural gelling agent, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute everything evenly for a consistent texture.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with olive oil and apple cider vinegar (natural). This mixture helps the bagels rise and adds moisture.
- Combine and Knead: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a sticky dough forms. Let the dough rest for a few minutes to allow the natural gelling agent to activate, making it easier to shape.
- Shape Your Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use your thumb to press a hole through the center of each ball to form a classic bagel shape. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle your choice of seeds or seasonings. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Measure flours accurately using a kitchen scale for the best dough consistency.
- Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes before shaping to improve texture through the natural gelling agent.
- Use fresh baking powder and natural gelling agent for optimal rise and texture.
- Do not skip the apple cider vinegar (natural) as it reacts with baking powder to create a light and fluffy crumb.
- Cool bagels on a wire rack after baking to avoid sogginess and maintain chewiness.
