Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  8. Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed bagels for breakfast or in a hearty sandwich!

Notes

For best flavor, ensure your sourdough discard is recently fed. Adjust flour if the dough is too sticky.
