Almond Flaxseed Bagels
These bagels are based on my almond flaxseed bread recipe published here about a year ago. Almond flour is notorious for creating a heavier and denser keto bread. On the other hand, flaxseeds have proven to rise very well with leavening agent and due to its high fiber content, it yields a very low net carb content, if not zero. So, when combined with almond flour, it helped the bread rise better, producing a lighter and softer texture with a much lower net carb content. These bagels taste pleasant and are crispy when toasted.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.
2. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
3. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Add all the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough is formed. The dough will appear runny initially but as you mix longer, it will firm up. Alternatively, you can rest the dough for 5 minutes just until it firms up.
5. Divide the dough into 8 x 100 g portions. Of course, you can make it bigger or smaller according to your preference.
6. Wet your hands for easier handling. Shape the dough into a ball then place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. I used a donut mold to make the bagel shape. You can also use a bottle cap or just use your fingers to make the hole. Ensure that the hole is bigger as it will shrink due to the expansion during baking.
7. Brush the bagels with egg yolks to obtain a golden color. Then top with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
8. Bake at the lowest rack for about 20 minutes. It is done when the bagels feel light to the touch or sounds hollow when you tap on their sides.
9. These bagels can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months or longer.
