What is fathead dough? It’s a type of dough made with a varying type of flour (not wheat) and is also gluten free and low carb as well. Eating fathead dough still allows you to enjoy eating bread, while not having to worry about the carbohydrates that come along with typical wheat bread.

Tips for the Best Low Carb Keto Bagels
- Before you begin, measure everything out and prepare it. Due to the cheese base in the dough, this is imperative. You will have a hard time combining the dough if the cheese cools too much.
- Beat the egg white thoroughly and do not skip it. In case you are not sure what this should look like, there is a photo of my beaten egg white. By doing so, the keto bagels will have the correct texture and lift.
- If you wish, you can use a donut pan or simply shape the bagels. Both methods worked for me and I did not notice one was better than the other.
- Brush the keto bagels liberally with egg white to achieve that golden brown color and slightly crisp texture.
Ingredients for keto bagels…
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white, beaten until it triples in volume
For the Topping
- 1 large egg white
- 1 1/2 tablespoon topping of your choice (Everything seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds)
- OR a sprinkle of sea salt on top
Instructions
- You must work the dough while the cheese is hot, so you need to measure and prepare everything ahead of time.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments. Mix until smooth.
- Stir together almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder in a second bowl.
- Melt the cheese and mix it with the flour mixture. Stir the dough and work the flour into the cheese as much as you can.
- Add the whole egg and beaten egg to the mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Using your hands, knead the dough until the egg, flour, and cheese are all evenly distributed. You want to make sure there are no streaks of eggs.
- Cut the dough into 8 equal sections after forming it into a disk. Make a bagel from each section.
- In a greased donut pan or on a silicone-lined baking sheet (or on a greased baking sheet), place the bagels.
- Brush the bagel with the egg white and top with the seasoning of choice.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
Variations and Substitutions for Keto Bagels
There are three ways to vary the basic recips:
- As I did when making the pretzels above, season the bagels as well. Garlic powder and onion powder, for example, can be added. Each teaspoon should be 14 teaspoons. Before adding them to the mixture, mix them into the almond flour.
- Toppings should be varied. Poppy seeds, coarse salt, or Everything Bagel seasoning can be substituted for sesame seeds.
- Try adding 12 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a granulated sweetener to equal 14 cups of sugar for a sweet version. Mix them with almond flour before adding it to the mixture.
Storing leftovers
It is best to enjoy these keto bagels warm and fresh…
Any leftovers can be frozen immediately, once they have cooled…
In the microwave, gently thaw them…
Since they don’t keep well in the fridge, it’s best to freeze them…
When stored, they tend to deflate and lose their fluffiness…
Sum Up
Make sure you knead the dough thoroughly before it cools…
…and make sure it is completely uniform. If the dough has cooled…
…and is impossible to knead, do not despair!
Microwave it for a few seconds (start with 10 seconds) until it’s pliable again…
