Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 to 3 tablespoons everything but the bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. The dough will look crumbly.
- Using clean hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together into a ball and is smooth and tacky (but not sticky). If your dough is too wet and sticky, you can add another tablespoon of flour.
- Divide the dough ball into four equal parts and roll each cut section into a ball then into a rope. Join the ends to form bagels and gently stretch out the center so the bagels have just under 2 inches of space. (If the dough is still super sticky, you can coat your hands in flour to make rolling the dough easier)
- Brush each bagel with the beaten egg and add your topping of choice to them; I use everything but the bagel seasoning.
- Bake in the middle rack for 20 to 22 minutes and allow the oven-baked cottage cheese bagels to rest out of the oven for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- If using the air fryer, air fry for 13 to 14 minutes at 350°F. Rest the air fryer cottage cheese bagels for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
