How to make Cottage Cheese Bagels?
A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.
Step 1
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Next, blend the cottage cheese using a food processor or blender for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until smooth.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, blended cottage cheese and an egg with a silicone spatula.
Step 4
As the dough begins to form, switch out the spatula for your clean hands. Begin to knead the dough until you have a round ball of dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour.
Step 5
Prepare your working surface. Add a sprinkle of flour to a cutting board. Divide the dough into six equal parts. Pick up one of the six sections. Roll the dough into a rope and pinch the ends to form a round circle. Repeat until you have six bagels.
Step 6
Place the bagels onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Spray each bagel with a little oil spray. Sprinkle and gently press the everything bagel seasoning into the top of each bagel. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
Step 7
Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting.

Gluten free option:
Use 1:1 gluten-free flour. Buy a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum added. I HIGHLY recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour! Also, be sure to use gluten-free baking powder.
How to store Cottage Cheese Bagels?
Store the bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
