Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup cottage cheese, strained
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg, whisked
- Optional toppings: Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cottage cheese and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough right in the bowl until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes.
- Divide into 8 equal sized pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and then form into a bagel shape, pinching the ends together.
- Place each piece on your lined baking sheet as you go. Brush with egg wash (whisked egg) and sprinkle each piece with seasoning of choice.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes until puffed up and golden. Cool before slicing, about 10-15 minutes, to prevent them from crumbling.
