Ingredients
Bagels
- 1 cup 240 g blended cottage cheese
- 1 cup 150 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Topping
- 1 large egg whisked (for egg wash)
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the dough.
- In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a thick dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a light dusting of flour until it's easy to handle.
- Shape the bagels.
- Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Divide into 4 equal portions, roll each into a rope, and join the ends to form bagels.
- Add the toppings.
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with the whisked egg, then generously sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bagels are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool & enjoy.
- Let the bagels cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy them toasted with cream cheese, smoked salmon, eggs, or your favorite sandwich fillings.
