Low Carb Cottage Cheese Bagels

Hey everyone, Dave here back in the kitchen. And I’m excited ’cause today we’re gonna be making low carb bagels, which seems like a win-win for me. Now, if you’re new here, I am not a professional cook, but I enjoy cooking and you know, me and you, we like to try new things.

Why You’ll Love This

Bagel’s my favorite food. And if I were to do a low carb diet, it’s the one thing I wouldn’t wanna give up. So I wanted to see if it’s possible to have bagels on a low carb diet. The net carbs on these bagels are 4.87 carbs in each bagel, which seems very low to me. Like a good thing.

It’s an easy seeming recipe. You get to see my real first reaction to something, whether it’s negative or positive. That’s a good mindset to be in. You can be mad at yourself for making the mistake or proud of yourself for realizing you made the mistake.

Cooking Tips

You have to have the wet and dry separate sometimes. ‘Cause in baking, it’s a bit of a science, or so they tell me. And it’s important to get that baking powder and salt in all the dry ingredients, I think.

Stack a dough higher, and they’d be thicker.

Serving Suggestions

You could just slide it in the toaster like that and slather some cream cheese on the bottom and try it.

We’re gonna toast ’em. We’re gonna cheese ’em.

You can see it really does look like a bagel, feels like a bagel, tastes like a bagel. I’d say if you’re low-carb, keto, anything like that, definitely try these. Very good. Nice change of pace with your keto diet to have the cottage cheese, low-carb bagel.
