How To Shape Almond Flour Bagels
After your dough comes together, shaping is actually the fun part. Think of it like playing with play-doh.
Roll the dough into a log and connect the ends to form a bagel shape. Don’t worry if they’re not perfect — rustic is cute.
This is also a great step to get kids involved. Mine love helping out with this part.
Once shaped, brush them with egg wash, sprinkle your toppings, and bake. That’s it.
Serving Ideas
You can eat these on their own, or dress them up like a proper bagel situation:
- Cream cheese
- Smoked salmon
- Avocado
- Butter and jam
I personally go straight for cream cheese and smoked salmon… no hesitation.
Tips For Best Results
- Use finely ground almond flour for best texture
- If dough feels sticky, lightly wet your hands before shaping
- Do not overbake or bagels will dry out
- Cheese is optional but adds moisture and flavor
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in toaster oven

Passover Bagels
My bagels looked like bagel crisps. What happened. I could only make 6 but they are small and did not rise. WhT happened.
Hi Christine, I am sorry that happened! Check the expiration date of your baking powder, that may have been the culprit. Also, use large eggs
This makes 2 bagels of the size shown in the photos here. This also matches another similar recipe, which states that it makes 2 bagels. There’s no way this could make 8 bagels unless mini-sized.
