Keto-Friendly Bagels
Fathead-style bagels made with almond flour, mozzarella, and cream cheese, with a chewy interior and sesame topping.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 2
Whisk the almond flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
-
Step 3
Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and evenly combined.
-
Step 4
Let the melted cheese mixture cool for 2 minutes so it remains warm but is no longer steaming.
-
Step 5
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Add it and the warm cheese mixture to the dry mixture, then stir until a rough dough forms.
-
Step 6
Knead the dough in the bowl until smooth and evenly blended.
-
Step 7
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a short rope, join the ends firmly, and place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Step 8
Press the sesame seeds evenly onto the tops of the shaped bagels.
-
Step 9
Bake at 200°C until puffed, deep golden, and set in the centers, 15–18 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
