How to Make Easy Keto Bagels: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, ready to bake some magic? Here’s the lowdown on making these Easy Keto Bagels, step-by-step. Don’t worry, it’s easier than it looks! Just follow along, and you’ll be munching on warm, keto-friendly bagels in no time!

Preparing the Dough for Easy Keto Bagels

First things first, let’s get that dough going! Grab your mozzarella and cream cheese, and toss them in a microwave-safe bowl. Nuke it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s all melty and smooth. Next, in another bowl, whisk together your almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Now, dump that cheese mixture into the flour bowl and stir, stir, stir! It’ll be a bit sticky. Add the whole egg and the beaten egg white. Knead it all together until you’ve got a smooth dough. Don’t worry if it seems a little weird at first, just keep going! You want to make sure there are no streaks of egg.

Shaping and Baking Your Easy Keto Bagels

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F – don’t forget this step! Form the dough into a disk shape and slice it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a little rope, then connect the ends to make a bagel shape (or as close to a bagel as you can get!). Place them on a greased donut pan or a baking sheet lined with silicone or parchment paper. Brush those babies with the remaining egg white, then sprinkle on your favorite toppings. I’m a sucker for everything bagel seasoning, but you do you! Bake for 18-22 minutes, until they’re golden brown and gorgeous. Let them cool slightly before devouring. Careful, they’re hot!

Tips for Perfect Easy Keto Bagels

Okay, so you wanna make these Easy Keto Bagels *perfect*, right? Here’s the secret sauce! First, work fast when the cheese is still hot and melty. It’s way easier to handle that way! Also, keep a close eye on them in the oven. Over-baking = dry bagels, and nobody wants that! And hey, if you’re using a regular baking sheet (not a donut pan), I HIGHLY recommend lining it with parchment paper. Trust me, it makes cleanup a breeze, and you won’t have any sticking issues!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Easy Keto Bagels

Alright, let’s talk ingredients! Wanna know why I chose these specific things for my Easy Keto Bagels? Or maybe you need to swap something out? No sweat, I got you!

First, mozzarella! Low-moisture, part-skim just melts the best, okay? But if you only have full-fat, that’s fine too. Just blot off any extra oil after melting. As for almond flour, some brands are coarser than others. I like Bob’s Red Mill super-fine almond flour best, but play around and see what you like! And hey, if you’re feeling sweet, a *tiny* bit of stevia or erythritol in the dough won’t hurt, but I usually skip it. They’re so good savory!

They’ll keep for about 3-4 days. Wanna keep ’em longer? Freeze ’em! Just wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap, then toss ’em in a freezer bag. They’ll be good for a month or two. To reheat, just microwave for a few seconds, or toast ’em up for that perfect bagel crispness!
