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.
