Ingredients (Makes 6 Bagels)
For the Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour (optional, for extra texture)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
For the Topping (Optional):
- Everything bagel seasoning (or substitute with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, etc.)
- 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
Combine the almond flour, coconut flour (if using), baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and set aside for later.
3. Melt the Cheese
Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Quickly add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture. Then add the egg and mix until a dough begins to form. (Tip: Use your hands to knead the dough—it’ll be sticky but it’ll come together.)
5. Shape the Bagels
Divide the dough evenly into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and form it into a bagel shape by connecting the ends. Place each bagel onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Add Toppings
Brush the top of each bagel with egg yolk for a glossy finish. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings, such as everything bagel seasoning.
7. Bake
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
8. Cool and Serve
Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your bagels plain, toasted, or topped with keto-friendly options like cream cheese, avocado, or smoked salmon.
