Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup (84 g / 2.96 oz) Almond Flour
  • 1 ½ cups / 170g (6 oz) Grated Mozzarella Cheese, melted
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tbsp (30 g / 1.06 oz) Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Xanthan Gum
  • Pinch of Sea Salt
  • 1 ½ cups / 355ml (12 fl oz) Water
  • 1 tbsp (15 g / 0.53 oz) Butter, melted
  • For a golden, crispier top, place the cooked bagels under your oven's broiler for 1-2 minutes or in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes after pressure cooking.
  • Customize your flavor by adding 1/2 teaspoon (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) of garlic powder to the dough, or top with Everything Bagel Seasoning before cooking for a classic taste.
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick and easy breakfast.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Prepare the Pot: Pour the water into the inner pot of your Instant Pot and place the trivet or rack inside.
  3. Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, beat the egg with the sea salt and xanthan gum.
  4. Whisk in the melted mozzarella and softened cream cheese until well combined.
  5. Finally, stir in the almond flour to form a cohesive dough.
  6. Shape the Bagels: Lightly grease your hands and form the dough into a log.
  7. Divide it into three equal portions.
  8. Roll each portion into a rope and connect the ends to form a bagel shape, then gently flatten each one.
  9. Prep for Cooking: Grease a small, heat-safe baking tray or pan that fits inside your Instant Pot.
  10. Arrange the bagels on the tray.
  11. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with optional seeds if desired.
  12. Pressure Cook: Carefully place the baking tray onto the rack inside the Instant Pot. Secure the lid, set the valve to 'Sealing', and cook on high pressure (MANUAL) for 15 minutes.
  13. Release and Serve: Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick pressure release. Carefully remove the bagels from the pot.
  14. Serve warm with your favorite low-carb toppings and enjoy!
  15. Don't skip the xanthan gum! It's crucial for giving these gluten-free bagels the classic chewy texture and helps the dough hold together.
