Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Toppings of choice: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, shredded asiago cheese, or poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix self-rising flour and cottage cheese until a dough forms. Knead briefly on a floured surface until smooth.
- Shape: Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a log and pinch ends together to form a bagel shape.
- Top and Bake: Transfer to the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and add desired toppings. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Let bagels cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or toasted!
Notes
For a smoother dough, blend cottage cheese briefly before mixing. Full-fat cottage cheese yields better texture. Add shredded herbs, garlic powder, or cheese inside the dough for flavor variations. Store in the fridge for 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
