How to Make Fathead Dough Bagels
We'll get started by making the fathead dough. If you'd like a more in depth guide to making it check out our fathead dough guide here.
To get started, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a double boiler or microwave for 20 second increments mixing until fully melted and combined.

Add the egg, baking powder, baking soda and almond flour and knead the mixture until it forms a dough.

Divide the dough into six balls and roll each into strings. Shape the strings into circles and place them on the baking tray leaving room between each bagel because they will expand.

Brush the surface of each bagel with water and add your toppings and press them lightly into the dough. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Serve hot or let them cool and store in an airtight container.
