Description
Delicious bagels made with cottage cheese for a healthy twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat mix)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Seeds for topping (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or everything seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix until well incorporated.
- Crack in the egg and stir until the dough comes together; it should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Lightly flour your working surface and knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- 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.
- Place the bagels on a greased baking sheet. Optionally, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For added nutrients, whole wheat flour can be used.
- Seeds for topping are optional but add extra flavor.
