Low-Carb Keto Bagels (Fathead Dough)
Description
Low-Carb Keto Bagels (Fathead Dough) combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese melted together to form a stretchy, pliable dough when mixed with almond flour, eggs, and baking powder. Shaping the dough by hand ensures the characteristic bagel ring form. Baking at 350°F sets the bagels, while a brief broil can add a browned crust. These bagels have a rich, cheesy base that lends a unique texture and flavor compared to grain-based bagels. They hold up well to various toppings or can be enjoyed plain.
The method calls for reheating the dough if sticky, ensuring easier handling, and includes the use of everything seasoning for a savory crust. The dough’s richness allows it to be quite filling, suitable for keto or low-carb diets. Serving ideas might include slicing them for sandwiches or spreading cream cheese as a breakfast option.
The recipe allows flexibility in toppings and suggests kneading the dough if needed to reduce stickiness for easier shaping. The cheese-based dough provides a good alternative for those avoiding gluten or grains.
Ingredients
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 2 large egg
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp everything seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from the microwave and stir with a four until fully combined. Immediately add the almond flour, egg, and baking powder. Stir to combine until the flour and eggs are incorporated into the mozzarella. If the dough is sticky, knead with hand until long longer sticky.
- Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a doughnut shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Garnish with the desired topping or leave plain.
- Bake 15 minutes. If desired, broil for 1 minute to brown the top of the bagels.
Notes
- Reheat sticky dough for 30 seconds and remix to improve handling.
- If dough remains sticky after reheating, add 1/4 cup more almond flour and mix well.
