Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (or 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for boiling water)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer the smooth cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and gradually fold in the flour until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball, poking a hole in the center of each to shape into bagels.
  5. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, adding honey if using, and boil each bagel for 30 seconds per side.
  6. Place the boiled bagels on the prepared baking sheet, brush with a beaten egg, and sprinkle with everything seasoning if desired.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor. Experiment with toppings like sesame seeds or cheese.
