My Keto Bagel is “The Health Bagel”

I mean, the one I secretly call “The Colon Cleanser”….

As you might have noticed when you do a long term ketogenic diet, fiber becomes a bit of an issue. There is only so much salad you can eat, right?!

So unless your gut flora has descended directly from the Inuit populations, you are probably the kind of gut person who needs a bit more roughage to keep your little friendly bugs in there well fed and happy!

I have been tinkering with fiber recipes for a while…. I did a High Fiber Cereal, a fiber Cracker, and they all came out quite nicely – but none them pack the fiber punch of this bagel.

So in this case we can really say: A keto bagel a day keeps the (bad) doctors away!

And, oh, did I mention it tastes really good?!

Bread and Butter Deprived

Ok fine, I finally admit it. I was missing a piece of bread, hot out of the oven, smothered in butter. Yeah, but you already knew that last week, when I confessed it in my Sesame Bun post.

By the way, for very nice, detailed instructions on how to get this dough right look at that post, it contains all the details!

This week I can safely declare that I was sandwich deprived.

And I did not even ever think of how glorious a bagel sandwich would really be until I saw my fellow blogger Keith’s photo of what he did with my Sesame Bun recipe. He made a BAGEL!!!

So then I had to go back and tinker with the original recipe some more to make it really “bagelish” nice and dense, firm and a bit spongy, good enough to make my mother in law proud!!

I hope enjoy my ultimate keto bagel!
