Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Optional Add-ins and Toppings
- Herbs (such as dried oregano, thyme, or parsley)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Cheese for topping (like shredded cheddar or parmesan)
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bagels.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Whisk them together until fully blended.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Add the cottage cheese to the dry ingredients and mix until you form a slightly sticky dough. You can add optional herbs or spices at this stage if desired.
- Shape Bagels: Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of dough, shape it into a ball, then create a hole in the center to form the classic bagel shape.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bagels onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle with cheese or seeds for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and firm to touch.
Notes
- You can add herbs or spices directly to the dough to enhance flavor.
- For extra crispiness, try brushing the bagels lightly with olive oil before baking.
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be toasted before serving to refresh texture.
