Keto Bagels
"These low-carb, gluten-free bagels are made with just 5 ingredients and take less than half an hour to prepare – perfect when you need a quick and easy breakfast. The recipe is the same as the one used to make fathead dough, resulting in chewy, yet crisp bagels. Enjoy them with your favorite keto-friendly spread or eat them alone, they’re tasty either way. Chilling the dough for half an hour is an important step in keto bagel making because it prevents the dough from becoming too sticky. You can, however, refrigerate it for longer but you may need to warm it up slightly before proceeding."
Notes1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
3. Combine mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl.
4. Microwave the cheese mixture on high for 2 minutes or until melted. Make sure to stir the cheese halfway through.
5. Fold in the almond flour and baking powder.
6. Add in the egg and stir until the dough comes together. Continue to knead until you get a smooth dough.
7. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
8. Once the dough is chilled, divide into four equal portions.
9. Shape each portion into logs. Bring together the ends and arrange on the baking sheet.
10. Sprinkle each bagel with sesame seeds and press them lightly onto the dough. Bake the bagels for 15 minutes or until golden.
11. Serve warm with cheese spread or other spread of your liking
