These are a game-changer when you’re craving a “real” breakfast sandwich. They are chewy, satisfying, and gluten-free. You can make a larger hole to make them more into bagels, but the small hole helps keep their shape round.

I made them today – they taste very good and the texture is bread-like, but they came out almost completely flat. I’m going to use them as individual Pesach pizza crusts. I followed the recipe to the letter. It yielded six rolls when I out them on the parchment paper. What would have gone wrong that they didn’t come out like rolls? I’m thinking may to add another 1/2 cup of potato starch if I try them again.
You used the baking powder too? I know some don’t like using it on Passover even though they sell kosher for passover versions. I haven’t had an issue with them being flat so not sure why.
Yes, I used KFP baking powder as per the recipe.
Can you freeze them
Yes I did and they were great
My food processor is parve. Is there another way to do this that doesn’t require milchiging the food processor?
If you have a blender that works. If you simply whisk it might be fine but you will see small curds.
Is there an alternative for the almond meal?
I am sure you can use other gluten free flours, but I didn’t test anything else so I am not sure how and what will work. It also depends on if you want them to be gluten free.
do you think these would freeze okay?
Yup
Is almond meal different from almond flour? Can they be substituted?
They are basically the same
These were fabulous! Especially with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning! My family inhaled them. Thank you!
So happy to hear! Thanks
