Description
Delicious high-protein bagels made with cottage cheese, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (2% or 4%)
- 1 egg (optional)
- Toppings: everything seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Add the flour and baking powder into a medium bowl, mixing them together. If you like, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
- Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the cottage cheese. Use a fork or small rubber spatula to mix until a chunky dough forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead it by hand for 1-2 minutes until you have a semi-smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a log about 6-7 inches long and 3/4 inch thick. Connect the ends to create each bagel shape.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl and mix in a splash of water or milk. Brush this egg wash over each bagel and sprinkle your favorite toppings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F. Spray or line the air fryer basket with cooking spray or parchment paper.
- Arrange the bagels in a single layer; you may need to do this in batches.
- Cook the bagels for 15-17 minutes until they are golden brown and fluffy.
- Remove the bagels and let them cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
