Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 cups self-rising flour plus extra for kneading
- 1 large egg beaten (optional, for brushing)
- Everything bagel seasoning or other toppings optional
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the cottage cheese to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a medium bowl. Add the self-rising flour and stir until combined and the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough onto a generously floured work surface. Knead 8–10 times, adding a little flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and manageable. It may still be slightly tacky.
- Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope approximately 6–7 inches long. Bring the ends together and pinch firmly to form a bagel.
- Arrange the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg, if desired, and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the bagels are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
- Allow the bagels to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
