Bagels using Fathead Pizza Dough

Jeff at work found this recipe.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese - shredded
1 1/2 cup Almond flour
1 tbsp baking powder
2 oz Cream cheese
2 large Egg - beaten
Sesame seeds - optional

Directions
Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Stir together almond flour and baking powder. Set aside.

Combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a large bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stir again at the end until well incorporated.

Stir the flour mixture and eggs into the melted cheese mixture. Working quickly while the cheese is still hot, knead with your hands until a dough forms. The dough will be very sticky, but keep kneading and squeezing through your fingers for a few minutes. If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, is too difficult to mix, or is still sticky after a couple minutes, you can microwave/reheat for 15-20 seconds to soften it. In that case, wash your hands and knead again.

It's very important for the dough to be completely uniform before proceeding to the next step. You shouldn't have pieces of cheese separate from areas of almond flour.

To make it easier to mix the dough, you can use a food processor with a dough attachment instead of kneading by hand.

Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form/roll a long log with each part, then press the ends together to make a bagel shape on the lined baking sheet. 

Repeat with the remaining dough. If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the bagels and gently press into the dough.

Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the bagels are firm and golden.

Home Made dog biscuits w/glaze


I was looking to see if I couldn't make Max, our Bernese Mountain Dog, some home made dog biscuits.

They are pretty simple.


Ingredients

2 small jars of baby food (any flavour, your dog isn't fussy)
2 cups of whole wheat flour


Glaze

1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil
1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter


Stuff you will need

Stand mixer w/dough hook
Mixing bowl
Mixing spoon
Rolling pin
Dog Biscuit cookie cutter, or pizza cutter
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Mix up the two ingredients, forming a dough ball, using the stand mixer.  

Roll this out on the counter.  (Cooking note:  spread some flour on the counter so that your dough doesn't stick to the counter)  Roll it out so that it's about a 1/4 inch thick.  You know, cookie thickness.

Using your cookie cutter, and honestly, your dog couldn't care less what shape it is, cut out as many cookies as you can.

Put the cut out dough on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes.

Glaze, micro wave the coconut oil and peanut butter for about 30 seconds.  Mix together.

Once the cookies, aah, I mean biscuits, are cooled, spread the glaze over the cookies.



Note 1.  I tried mixing this using a pastry cutter.  OMG, what a mess.

Note 2.  I tried mixing this using my hands.  OMG, I had really stick dough caught between my fingers.  Use the stand mixer with the dough hook.

Note 3.  I was using the dog bone cookie cutter.  Yes it's cute.  But honestly, you can roll the entire dough out and cut it up with the pizza cutter in less than a minute.  So much easier.

Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome!
