Keto Bread Dough

1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
1 egg
1 pkg yeast
1 T baking powder
1 T psyllium husks or other fiber
1 1/4 cups almond flour

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Melt mozzarella cheese and cream cheese together in the microwave (stovetop may work also). Add the egg; stir until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix the dough thoroughly. It will be sticky.   Bake on cookie sheet lined with parchment for 12 minutes or until slightly golden.

Note:  I usually double the recipe.  For bagels, omit the yeast.  Water hands and divide dough into even portions and shape into bagel shapes, roughly 3-4 ounces per bagel (8 regular sized bagels), or into 12 portions (mini bagels).  Bagels will be soft and need to cool to harden up.  My oven likes to overcook the bottom of things so I place bagels on the top rack.

For pizza crust, I double the recipe and separate the dough into 3 parts.  Roll thin (think pie crust) and bake for 5-10 minutes and remove from oven.  Then add toppings and bake until cheese is melted.  It will burn easily so WATCH it.

Store pizza crusts or bagels in freezer.  I slice the bagels before freezing them, which makes pulling them out and toasting them for breakfast a snap. You can probably get two small "personal" sized pizzas out of one batch of dough, which then could fit easily into a gallon Ziplock bag for easy freezing. 

Source: This recipe is all over the internet, although I modified it by adding the yeast and psyllium fiber.
