Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat mix) For added nutrients, whole wheat flour can be used.
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional Toppings
  • Seeds for topping (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or everything seasoning) These are optional but add extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Crack in the egg and stir until the dough comes together; it should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  4. Lightly flour your working surface and knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll each into a ball, poke a hole through the center, and gently stretch to create bagel shapes.
  6. Place the bagels on a greased baking sheet. Optionally, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite toppings.
