Notes

Here are some important notes to keep in mind while making Keto Bagels:
  1. Ingredient Substitutions: If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, you can explore substitutions such as using coconut flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free option, or using vegan cream cheese and flaxseed meal instead of eggs for a vegan version.
  2. Dough Texture: The dough for Keto Bagels should be sticky but manageable. If it's too dry, add a little water or more eggs. If it's too wet, add a bit more almond flour or psyllium husk powder.
  3. Boiling Time: Be careful not to over-boil the bagels during the boiling step. 1-2 minutes per side is usually sufficient to give them the characteristic chewy texture without making them too soft.
  4. Toppings: Customize your bagels with your favorite Keto-friendly toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning. Sprinkle these toppings on the bagels before baking for added flavor.
  5. Storage: Store leftover Keto Bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the toaster or oven before serving.
  6. Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your Keto Bagels as a satisfying breakfast or snack. Serve them toasted with cream cheese, avocado slices, smoked salmon, or your favorite low-carb toppings for a delicious and filling meal.
By keeping these notes in mind, you'll be able to successfully make and enjoy tasty Keto Bagels that fit your dietary needs and preferences.
