Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups self-rising flour plus more for dusting
  • 1.5 cups full-fat cottage cheese blended until smooth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg beaten for egg wash
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning or other toppings of choice

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a blender, process the cottage cheese until it's completely smooth and creamy. This is key for a uniform dough.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and salt. Add the smooth cottage cheese to the bowl.
  4. Mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until it comes together. Do not over-knead.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Poke a finger through the center and gently stretch to create a hole about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  6. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each bagel with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are puffed and deep golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
