Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and garlic salt.

  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Microwave for another minute, then stir until well combined.

  4. Add the flour mixture and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Mix quickly until a sticky dough forms.

  5. Knead the dough by hand until it becomes completely uniform, which should take about 2 minutes.

  6. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a long log shape and then join the ends together to form a bagel shape. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes, or until they turn golden.

  8. If you prefer not to use a microwave, you can melt the cheeses in a double boiler on the stove over low heat. Stir frequently until completely melted.

  9. If the dough becomes hard to mix, too difficult to work with, or still sticky after a couple of minutes, you can reheat it in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds to soften it. After reheating, wash your hands and knead the dough again. It's important for the dough to be completely uniform, without any separate pieces

Why Go Gluten-Free?
