Fathead dough is making its way into many Keto baked goods, and we can’t complain. These Keto bagels are made using a version of fathead dough, making them soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious. We have adjusted the dough recipe for these Keto bagels and included yeast for a risen and velvety result. These Keto bagels are delicious with every bite and will leave you wanting more.
How to Make It
Step 1
To bloom the yeast, add the yeast and sugar to a bowl. Pour in the water, making sure it is lukewarm. Whisk and place the bowl in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. The yeast is ready when there is foam or bubbles on top.
Step 2
Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder to your food processor. Whisk the eggs, then add them to the food processor. When the yeast has done proving, add it to the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse for 10-20 seconds until combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave until the cheese is melted. Stir until smooth.
Step 4
Add the melted cheese to the food processor along with the dough. Process until a uniform dough forms. Scrape the sides and process again.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it prove in a warm place for 1 hour.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 325 Fahrenheit, and line a small baking dish with parchment paper. Oil your hands and separate the dough into 6-7 pieces. Roll them into even-sized balls and arrange them on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Poke a hole in the middle of each one, stretching to form a bagel. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place to prove for 30 minutes.
Step 8
Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl. Remove the plastic wrap and brush the bagels with the egg yolks. Sprinkle the surface with the sesame seeds.
Step 9
Bake for 15-20 minutes until they have doubled in size. They should be ready when they’re golden, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Set them aside to cool before handling.
