Ingredients

Everything needed to make Keto Everything Bagels.

Butter – use unsalted butter or you’ll run the risk of your Keto Bagels being too salty.

Everything Bagel Seasoning – This seasoning is great on Keto Crackers too! All you’ll need is sesame seeds, dehydrated onion flakes, poppy seeds and sea salt.

How to make Keto Bagels

Make the dough

I love how quickly these can be made if you are craving a bagel sandwich for lunch or something to pair with a hot bowl of soup. Here’s how it’s done:

Heat your oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with either a non stick baking mat or a piece of parchment paper.

In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder and onion powder.

Mix well to remove all lumps from the parmesan and almond flour, then mix the grated mozzarella into the almond flour until fully coated. Plop the butter right on top.

White bowl with mixed dry ingredients. Butter is on the top.

Microwave for 1 minute, stir well with a wooden spoon, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Knead the dough to ensure that all the mozzarella has been melted and if not, microwave for an additional 15 seconds.

Crack in 1 egg and 1 egg white, reserving the 1 egg yolk for later. Knead the eggs in until fully combined, then gently fold in the vinegar.

Form the bagels

Oil your work surface with olive oil – this dough is very sticky. Remove the dough from the bowl and cut into four even sections.

With oiled hands, work each portion into a log, then pinch both ends together to form a circle. Place all four onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving room in between for spreading while baking.

Remember that egg yolk from earlier? Grab a pastry brush, mix the yolk up then spread it all over the tops of the bagels.

Bake the bagels

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, until the tops are nice and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the Keto Everything Bagels to cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Expert Tips

1. Use freshly grated mozzarella in this Keto Bagels recipe. Pre grated mozzarella is often packed with additives to help keep the cheese from clumping. This means that a.) it contains unnecessary carbohydrates and b.) it doesn’t melt all that good, which messes with your dough.
2. Make sure the mozzarella is fully melted before kneading in the egg and vinegar. If not, heat for additional 15 second increments until it is.
3. Do not over mix the vinegar, or your Keto Everything Bagels could turn out small and flat.
4. Olive oil works wonders to help work the dough. It is a very sticky dough and could be frustrating if you don’t oil your hands and work station.
5. The Keto Bagels will spread outwards, rather than upwards, while baking. They should be shaped with high sides to avoid overly flat bagels.
6. Make sure the tops of the bagels are nice and golden brown before removing from the oven to ensure they are fully baked.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to store Low Carb Bagels

These bagels should be kept in the fridge and will last about a week or so. I like to freeze them because they will last 4-6 months in the freezer, and take no time at all to thaw.

Keto Everything Bagels won’t rise?

There are a few reasons why your bagels may not have risen. The most common reason would be if the vinegar was over mixed into the dough. It should be gently folded in until just combined.

How did you shape your low carb everything bagels? They will spread out while baking, so should be shaped with high sides. If neither of these were the issue, check to see if your baking power is expired.

Can you freeze Keto Bagels?

Oh heck yes! I make a batch of low carb bagels just for the freezer when I run out. Place the cooled baking sheet right inside the freezer until the bagels are frozen, then they can be placed in freezer safe packing. If you like them toasted, slice the Keto Bagels before freezing.

How to reheat Keto Everything Bagels

From the fridge – Microwave for about 30 seconds, bake in a 350° oven for about 5 minutes, or simply toss into a toaster.

From the freezer – These Keto Bagels don’t take very long to thaw, then can be reheated your preferred way. For sandwiches on the go, simply allow them to thaw enough to slice in half, build your sandwich and then package it to go.
