    Keto Rye Bagels are a keto-friendly, delicious, low carb alternative to a regular bagel. They have the look and feel of a rye flavored bagel and are perfect for making bagel sandwiches, chips, or to enjoy as a side to your morning plate of eggs and bacon!

    This grain-free recipe was developed to replicate a rye flavor bagel that I could use for sandwiches. While there is no rye flour in the recipe, I did come up with some substitutions to give it the look and feel of a rye bagel!

    Why I made a Keto Rye Bagel

    There are two bready items I loved to buy when I would be out and about and needed a meal or snack to get me by. One was a Pepperoni Soft Pretzel like you would get at Auntie Anns, and the other would be a Skinny bagel sandwich that I would buy at Bruegger's Bagels.

    While I didn't eat those non-keto foods often, when I wanted one, I would miss the fact I couldn't have it! So, I set about to find a way to make a Keto bagel that I could use to make one of my favorite sandwiches with!

    Making your Keto Rye Bagel as authentic as possible

    What Ingredients do you use to make Keto Rye Bagels?

    To give this bagel recipe the look and flavor of rye, I used a little bit of cocoa powder, yacon syrup, and caraway seeds.Flours, baking cocoa, and caraway seeds in food processor before blending

    How do you infuse the "rye" flavor into your recipe?

    The best way I found to assist in getting some of the rye flavors without using flour, is to process the dry ingredients together in a food processor. Then mix the cheese mixture with flour mixture by hand with a sturdy spoon or spatula.Dough ball prior to rolling into bagel shape.

    Do you boil your Keto bagel before baking?

    Because your low carb bagel is gluten free, meaning it does not have the same properties as a regular bagel, you will not boil it first. Doing so would likely be disastrous. Rather, you will roll it out over a silicone mat before shaping.Rolling the dough to make in a circle shape.

    How thick and long should the "rope" for your bagel be?

    I rolled each bagel section out to be approximately 1" thick and about 6" long. You don't want it to be too thin and you don't want a super wide hole in the center. You can use the photo below as a guide. This dough does rise, so the hole will close in some, but shouldn't close in completely. You should be able to stick your finger in the center of the bagel without touching the dough.Bagel shaped dough on parchement lined baking sheet ready to bake.

    How to successfully create a low carb bagel recipe

    • Add the dry ingredients to a food processor and pulse them together to infuse the cocoa powder and caraway seeds into the flours.
    • Mix the microwave cheese ingredients into the flour mixture by hand. Using the food processor to do so may cause the hot cheese to come up through the center of the blending attachment into the mechanical part of the processor.
    • Use a sturdy spoon or spatula to mix the dough. You want to be sure the cheese and dough are blended together well.
    • Use a silicone mat to roll the dough out into a rope.
    • If your dough sticks to your hands, slightly dampen your hands with water.
    • Pinch together the dough with your fingers when shaping into a bagel form. Then smooth the crease as much as possible.

    You may be wondering what Yacon Syrup is and where you can get it. Yacon Syrup is a natural sweetener with very few calories and low sugar levels, making it a great product for diabetics. It has a molasses-like flavor and a little bit goes a very long way. It is perfect for giving depth in flavor to these Keto Rye Bagels!
