Dough
3 cups shredded mozzarella
1.5 cups almond flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
2 tsp xantham gum (Bob's Red Mill again)
4 Tbsp. cream cheese
2 eggs
Toppings (to taste)
Sesame seeds
Poppy seeds
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
I put butter on top of one of the bagels as a test to see if it would help keep the seeds/flavouring on top and it seemed to work well, I will do it again for all of them the next time I do it.
Preparation • Preheat oven to 400° • In a bowl mix the almond flour, xantham gum, and eggs until combined • Place mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium pot and cook on low heated until melted • Once the cheese is melted, combine with the other mixture. Knead until thoroughly combined (you will need a mixer, the flour, eggs and xantham powder get really hard to mix after a little bit) • Roll the dough into log shapes and rest them into your donut pan (I did not use a donut pan, here you will see what they looked like before I stuck them in the oven, and how you might want to shape them), then sprinkle your toppings • Bake for 18 minutes
I made 6 bagels and kept them in the fridge. I can't tell you how amazing these were. I will be experimenting to make other bread-like products so I will post once I make a new batch!
MACROS
I believe these are correct from my calculations, but don't hesitate to double check it yourself! I added them to MFP under "Homemade - Mozzarella Almond Flour Keto Bagel, 1 Bagel" (I'm new to the app so if you can't search it just let me know)
