5 ingredients bagel recipe; low carb and sugar free

This recipe is Bariatric, Trim Healthy Mama and Keto friendly! The uses for this dough are endless! I have made this into pizza crust, Stromboli, calzones, cinnamon rolls, pretzel dogs and Danish and more!! You are only restricted by your own imagination! Ingredients Vegetarian, Gluten free ∙ Makes 6 bagels • 2 Large eggs • 1 3/4 cups Almond flour • 1 tbsp Baking powder • 2 oz Cream cheese • 2 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese Depending on what you are making you can add: • Sesame seeds • Cinnamon and splenda (or sweetener of your choice) • Everything but the bagel seasoning (I found it at Trader Joes) Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the almond flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside. Place the Mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is completely melted. Add the almond flour mixture and eggs to the melted cheese and use your hands to combine all the ingredients until thoroughly mixed. The dough will be very sticky, but it’s important to mix it quickly while still hot, and make sure it is very well combined. Divide the dough into 6 even parts, rolling each out into a rope, and then molding each rope into the shape of a bagel. Top with sesame seeds, if desired, and baked at 400 for 8 - 10 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then remove and enjoy! I will make a batch and refrigerate in zip lock bag, take out and cover with a paper towel and microwave for 20 – 30 sections and eat.

Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash Microwave Instructions for Squash: Make cuts all around the spaghetti squash with a knife. Place in microwave in a microwavable dish and microwave on medium-high in 5 minute increments. Rotate spaghetti squash every 5 minutes until soft (total time should be anywhere from 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the spaghetti squash). Remove from microwave. Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut in half and remove seeds, and then separate the strands.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients 1 head of cauliflower, grated 1 large egg, lightly beaten 3 ½ cup part skim mozzarella, shredded and divided (2 cups for crust) 1/4 to 1/2 cup tomato sauce or marinara sauce, (homemade or store bought) 2 cloves minced Toppings of your choice ****************************************************************************** Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Pulse one head of chopped cauliflower into chunks in a food processor until it looks like grain. Microwave the cauliflower for 8 minutes.*************************************** Transfer into a clean, thin dishtowel or cheesecloth. Wrap up the rice and twist the towel to squeeze any excess moisture out. Be careful not to burn your hands. (This step makes a big difference in the final texture of your crust.)********************************************** Place the drained rice into a mixing bowl, along with the egg, ¼ tsp salt, garlic (you can also add Italian seasoning if you like) and 2 cups of mozzarella cheese. Mix this together until fully combined. Pour the rice mixture onto parchment paper and press into your pizza form (round or square). Keep the dough about ⅓ of an inch thick and try to mold it to be as even and as flat as possible. You can also form the edges to stand up to mimic a crust.*************************************************** Once the crust is fully formed, place back into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is firm and golden brown.********************************************** Spread your tomato sauce or marinara sauce on crust At this point, you can top with whatever normal pizza toppings you prefer. Once you have your toppings, place back into the oven and bake until the cheese is melted. (about 15 to 20 minutes)

*** The key is to bake the crust separately before you add the toppings. This crisps up the cauliflower and cheese so it is capable of holding the sauce and toppings.
