Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, shredded asiago cheese, or poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and position the rack to the top position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a medium bowl and add the flour. Mix until combined, kneading for 8-10 times until the dough is smooth.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal balls, roll each into a 6-7 inch rope, and join the ends to form a circle, pinching tightly to seal.
- Brush the tops with a beaten egg and add your desired toppings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
- Alternatively, for air frying, preheat the air fryer to 350°F, spray the basket with nonstick spray, and air fry for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Bagels can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
