Easy Homemade Keto Bagels

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mozzarella (shredded, part-skim; 6 ounces)

1 ounce cream cheese (cubed)

1 1/2 cups superfine almond flour (6 ounces)

1 tablespoon baking powder (gluten-free if needed)

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

1/4 cup sesame seeds (or any other topping)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the mozzarella in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Top it with the cream cheese cubes. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave for 30 more seconds.

Stir again and add the almond flour and baking powder. Stir to incorporate as best as you can. The dough won't come together yet at this point.

Add the egg, mixing it in with a rubber spatula and then with your hands. Work quickly, kneading the dough before it cools and ensuring it's completely uniform.

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. I use my kitchen scales to ensure the bagels are all the same size.

Knead each part briefly, then roll it into a 7-inch log, starting in the middle and rolling outwards. Press the ends together to shape into a bagel.

Dip the tops of the bagels in the sesame seeds and arrange the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the bagels until golden brown and fragrant, 15-17 minutes.

Serve immediately. These bagels are excellent with cream cheese!
