STEP BY STEP
Let’s make it.
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a tray and mix the almond meal, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Warm the mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until melted and uniform. Let cool until warm, not hot.
- Work in the almond mixture and beaten egg with a sturdy spoon, then knead briefly with damp hands. If too sticky to shape, chill for 5–10 minutes.
- Divide into 6 portions. Form each into a short rope and join the ends, leaving a generous center hole. Place on the tray and press sesame seeds onto the tops.
- Bake for 18–23 minutes, until golden and set through the center. Cool for 10 minutes and divide into 6 servings.
Kitchen notes
- Use low-moisture mozzarella, not fresh mozzarella in brine. These cheese-based rings are smaller and denser than traditional bagels.
