Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Topping
- Extra Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of rising agents and seasoning.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Form dough: Gradually add the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough forms.
- Knead dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it gently for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape bagels: Divide the dough evenly into 6 portions and shape each one into a round ball.
- Create bagel holes: Poke a hole through the center of each ball with your finger and gently stretch to form the classic bagel shape with a well-defined hole.
- Prepare for baking: Arrange the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for a flavorful, golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the bagels for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and completely cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to let the texture set and to avoid burning your mouth.
Notes
- Greek yogurt can be substituted for cottage cheese, but the dough might be softer.
- You can freeze these bagels after they have completely cooled; store them in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- These bagels are softer and less chewy than traditional boiled bagels, with a denser texture.
