  • Yield: 4 bagels

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, baking powder, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

  • Serve: Let the bagels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite toppings like cream cheese or avocado.

Notes

  • Toppings: Before baking, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning on top for added flavor.

  • Cheese Lovers: Stir shredded cheese into the dough for a cheesy twist.

  • Herb-Infused: Add dried herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for a savory version.

  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
