Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Dough

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, and baking powder. Stir together until a rough dough forms. Use your hands to knead the dough gently until slightly sticky but manageable.
  2. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a rope about 6 inches long. Connect the ends of each rope to form a ring shape resembling bagels.
  3. Bake Until Golden: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the shaped bagels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels turn golden brown on top and feel firm to the touch.

Notes

  • You can add herbs or seeds for extra flavor and texture.
  • Make sure not to overflour the dough, as it should stay soft and moist.
  • Let bagels cool on a wire rack before slicing to retain their texture.
  • These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a toaster or oven for a fresh-baked feel.
