Imagine biting into a warm, satisfying bagel without the guilt. This recipe creates bagels that are a delightful departure from the ordinary, offering a bread-like experience that fits seamlessly into a carb-conscious lifestyle. These bagels are crafted to be enjoyed by nearly everyone, carefully excluding nuts and cheese from their ingredient list.
Each bagel offers a remarkably low carb count, making them an ideal choice for those monitoring their intake. The preparation is surprisingly straightforward, designed for simplicity with a minimal number of steps and only requiring a single bowl for mixing. The ease of preparation doesn't compromise the delightful outcome.
A core element of these bagels is a protein powder, which contributes to their satisfying structure, light and airy volume, and a boost of protein. While alternatives like soy-milk powder or whole milk powder can be used, be aware that each will impart its own distinct characteristics to the final texture, nutritional profile, and carb content. For the most authentic bagel experience, yeast is recommended.
It encourages the dough to rise, resulting in that characteristically chewy and airy interior we all crave. If yeast isn't available, baking powder can be used as a substitute, but the resulting bagels will have a denser, more compact crumb. To elevate the flavor, consider adding bagel seasoning.
This blend of savory spices and seeds transforms an already delicious bagel into an extraordinary treat. Alternatively, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese can be used to customize your bagels to your personal preference. Each option offers a unique textural element and flavor profile, encouraging experimentation and personalization.
The aroma of these bagels baking in the oven is simply irresistible, and the first bite is pure satisfaction.
