Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Notes

  • To replace self-rising flour, use 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Allow the bagels to cool off a bit before slicing and serving. 
  • Ovens vary, but at 350°F, mine needed about 27 minutes to turn golden brown. They should be done anywhere between 25 to 30 minutes. 
  • If you want to use almond flour instead, you will need 2 1/2 to 3 cups of almond flour. Texture will vary because almond flour is very dense. 
  • I made 4 large bagels. But you can make 6-8 smaller sizes. 
  • Nutrition facts are calculated based on 4 servings. Serving size is one bagel.
