Sourdough Bagels With Strawberry Cream Cheese | Homemade Dutch Apple PieIf I could only have one bread item it would be a bagel. I fell in love with them at an early age and still love them now!

But I rarely eat bagels since we are mostly gluten free and don’t eat store bought bread.

After getting a donut pan for Christmas (and then another one for my birthday!) I thought it would be fun to use them to make bagels. It sure was.

Sourdough bagels make an easy week day breakfast. Spread on some homemade strawberry cream cheese, butter, coconut oil or jam. Then add a protein and breakfast is served.Sourdough Bagels With Strawberry Cream Cheese | Homemade Dutch Apple Pie

My kids really enjoyed these bagels – especially with strawberry cream cheese.  The homemade cream cheese is easy to make and does not contain any artificial colors or sweeteners. I make it using homemade powdered sugar.

Whether you want a bagel for breakfast on the go, a fun lunch component or a family brunch, these sourdough bagels are perfect.

If you don’t have a donut pan you can simply shape the dough into rounds and bake them on a greased baking sheet. They may look a little more rustic, but they’ll taste just as good.

Do you enjoy bagels with cream cheese? Now you can have a real food version.
