Cottage Cheese Bagels
These cottage cheese bagels are high in protein cloking in at 11 grams of protein per bagel and super easy to make. You only need two ingredients and no special equipment!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full fat, low fat or fat-free
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 egg optional
- toppings everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or both.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Start by using a fork to mix the flour and cottage cheese until combined, then use your clean hands to bring the mixture together into a dough ball.
- Knead it for two minutes. If the dough is too sticky to handle you can add one to two tablespoons of flour.
- Divide the dough into four equal balls.
- Create a hole in the center and gently stretch it to shape it into a bagel. Lightly brush each bagel with egg wash or with milk, then sprinkle with your chosen topping.
- Place your cottage cheese bagels on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
Notes
Be sure to let the bagels cool down for 10 minutes before consuming them as they absorb moisture.
I highly recommend using full fat cottage cheese for the best flavor and texture.
