These Keto Everything Bagels are chewy, golden rounds made with a base of almond flour and melted mozzarella cheese. Topped with a savory blend of sesame seeds, garlic, and onion, they have a soft interior and a classic bakery-style flavor for breakfast or brunch.

About This Recipe

To create the dough, the mozzarella and cream cheese should be melted together until completely smooth before incorporating the almond flour and egg. Kneading the mixture for a few moments helps to integrate the ingredients, ensuring the dough is elastic enough to be rolled into logs and shaped without breaking. Brushing the shaped rounds with an egg wash before baking is important, as it helps the everything seasoning stick and results in a deep golden crust once they are removed from the oven.

The base of these bagels uses a blend of cheese and nut flour to create a chewy texture similar to traditional bread while remaining grain-free. The mozzarella provides the necessary binding and pull, while the almond flour gives a dense crumb and a mild flavor that pairs well with savory toppings. Because the recipe does not require yeast or boiling, the rise and airy texture come from the combination of baking powder and eggs during the baking process.

These bagels fit well for morning meals and work well for preparing in advance. They are easy to customize by using different seeds or adding herbs into the dough before shaping. It is best to let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before slicing, and they can be served with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or used as a base for sandwiches.
