Ingredients
- 1 Cup full-fat cottage cheese 2 % works too, strained
- 1 Cup self-rising flour
- 1 egg used as egg wash if using toppings
- everything Bagel seasoning Optional topping, sesame seeds, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a blender, add the 1 Cup Full-fat cottage cheese and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the cottage cheese to a large mixing bowl and add the 1 Cup Self-rising flour.
- Mix the flour and blended cottage cheese with your hands or spatula until well combined. The dough may be a bit sticky. Add 1-2 tablespoons of flour if needed to be able to handle the dough.
- Transfer onto a lightly floured flat surface and knead a few times until you are able to form a ball. You may use 1-2 tablespoons of flour if needed to handle the dough.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Form a ball, create a hole in each one using your finger, and gently pull It apart to form a bagel shape.
- Brush some egg wash (from 1 egg) over each bagel and top with sesame seeds or Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Place the bagels onto the prepared sheet pan and bake for 25-28 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the bagels to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy.

Notes
- If you do not have self-rising flour, you can swap it with 1 cup of all-purpose flour. But you will need to add 1-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- You must allow the bagels to cool for a good 10 minutes before slicing it. The bagels are soft and fluffy.
- I also made these bagels using low-fat (4% fat and 2%) small curd, and they came out just fine. I do recommend straining the cottage cheese well if it has any liquids.
