Description
These homemade bagels remind me of slow Sunday mornings, when the kitchen smells like something special is baking. With just two main ingredients and a touch of love, these bagels come out soft, chewy, and packed with protein. They’re perfect fresh from the oven with a smear of butter or your favorite spread. Once you make these, store-bought won’t stand a chance!
Ingredients
1 cup self-rising flour (see note)
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, shredded asiago, or poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix self-rising flour and blended cottage cheese until a dough forms.
Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth (about 2 minutes).
Divide into 4 pieces and shape each into a bagel.
Place on the baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle on your favorite toppings.
Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until golden and firm.
Cool slightly before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
If you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own with 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
Blend cottage cheese for a smoother dough texture
