Description
Nutritious bagels made with cottage cheese, high in protein and perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, onion flakes, or everything seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese and the egg, stirring until well blended.
- Slowly add in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together; it should be slightly sticky.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough a few times to form a smooth ball. Divide it into four equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball, then use your finger to poke a hole in the middle to shape it into a bagel.
- Place the formed bagels on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Notes
Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven or toaster.
