You have to try making these scrumptious keto bagels right now! This 5-ingredient recipe is made of mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, baking powder and eggs plus seasoned with everything but the bagel seasoning.
1extra egg yolkreserve the egg white for the egg wash
everything but the bagelfor topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven at 400 degrees F and at the same time prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper lining.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Melt the cheese mixture in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Make sure to combine them thoroughly using a spatula or a spoon once melted.
Add in the flour mixture to the melted cheeses. Add the eggs. Continue combining and folding them altogether until it forms to an even dough.
Oil your hands. Divide the dough into 6. Take one slice of dough and roll it into a small log. Connect both ends to form a bagel. Place it into the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process for the rest of the 5 slices of dough. Make sure to make spaces in between each bagel.
(Optional Step) Brush the bagels with the reserved egg whites. Top all of them with everything but the bagel seasoning.Note: Everything but the bagel seasoning has salt and garlic to it so you may want to ease up on this because the dough is quite salty itself already because of the mozzarella in the dough. You can either choose to top the bagels before or after baking.
Bake for 15 minutes. Let set and cool before serving.
Notes
As usual, preheat the oven at the right temperature to avoid over or under baking.
Oil your hands when forming the dough because it can be very sticky
You can use a donut pan if you have it to bake the bagels
Everything but the bagel seasoning is optional, you may choose not to top your bagels with it.
Make sure your baking powder is not out of date. This will cause your bagels to spread.
