Cottage Cheese Bagels (Protein Bagel)
Description
Cottage Cheese Bagels use blended cottage cheese combined with self-raising flour and whisked egg to form a dough that is sticky yet workable when wetting hands and using flour on surfaces. The mixture is kneaded briefly, divided into four portions, and shaped into bagels by making a hole and stretching the dough gently. An egg wash applied before baking promotes browning, and everything seasoning adds savory complexity.
Baked at 190°C (375°F) until golden, the bagels develop a slightly different texture from traditional yeast bagels, remaining soft with a subtle tang from the cottage cheese. They provide a high-protein alternative for those seeking a homemade breakfast bread.
Allowing the bagels to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing is important to set the crumb and improve cutting. Working with the dough’s stickiness requires flouring surfaces and possibly wetting hands, which is normal for this recipe’s consistency.
