How to make Keto / Low Carb Bagels with Fat Head Dough

I’ve seen a few kept bagel recipes, and I’ve been dying to try them for a while now. They tend to use a variation of the traditional fat-head dough. This particular recipe is from PeaceLoveAndLowCarb.com. Firstly, let me say they were SO delicious! My hubby even loved them, and he isn’t following a low-carb diet.

You can slice them, toast them and spread with cream cheese, or use them to make breakfast sandwiches like we did. You can even omit all the seasonings and use cinnamon and sweetener instead to make a sweet version - maybe even topped with a low-carb cream cheese frosting. The possibilities are endless. They really make great sandwiches! If you make the holes too small, they may close up during baking - but really, who cares, they will still be delicious.

I recommend storing in the fridge for up to a week, or you can slice them in half and freeze them, then pop them in the toaster after thawing briefly.

NOTE: If you don’t use a microwave, you can just heat the cheese mixture on the stovetop until melted and gooey before continuing with the recipe steps below.

INSTRUCTIONS:
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 3 large eggs, divided
• 3 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
• 5 tablespoons cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning (Recipe below) - I just made a mix of toasted sesame seeds, garlic granules and coarse sea salt.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Preheat oven to 425°F / 218°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
2) In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined. I like to put the mixture through a flour sifter to ensure that all the baking powder gets mixed in with the rest of the ingredients.
3) Crack one egg into a small bowl and fork whisk. This will be the egg wash for the top of the bagels. The other two eggs will go in the dough.
4) In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir to combine. Return to microwave for 1 additional minute. Mix until well combined.
5) To the mixing bowl, add the remaining 2 eggs and the almond flour mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. If the dough gets too stringy and unworkable, simply put it back in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften and continue mixing.
6) Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
7) Gently press your finger into the center of each dough ball to form a ring. Stretch the ring to make a hole in the center and form into a bagel shape. (Make the holes a bit larger than you want as they will close up some.)
8) Brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash.
9) Top each bagel with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
10) Bake on the middle rack for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
From PeaceLoveAndLowCarb.com, makes 6 bagels.
