This recipe will blow you away! Bagels made with only two ingredients, baked AND packed with protein!
Gather your ingredients
1 -cup whole milk cottage cheese (4%)
1 -cup self leveling flour
1 -egg with a little water for an egg wash
Mixing the ingredients
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking sheet.
Recipe makes 4 bagels.
First, blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then add flour.
Next, mix to combine and knead into a ball.
Add additional flour as needed so the dough isn’t sticky.
Now, shape the dough into a round disk.
Then, cut into four equal pieces.
Shaping the dough
- Roll each piece of dough into a log about five inches long.
- Twist to shape into a round.
- Pinch the ends together.
- Place on the greased baking sheet.
The egg wash
- Mix one egg with a small amount of water.
- Brush the tops of the bagels with the wash.
Topping it off
Now you can sprinkle everything bagel seasoning, cinnamon/sugar, garlic salt or cheese on top.
I am making Asiago cheese bagels today. Grate the cheese, then add it to the tops of the bagels in the last 5-7 minutes of baking.
This prevents the cheese from burning.
Bake
Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes. Turn the sheet half way through baking.
Then add the cheese during the last 5-7 minutes.
So good!
These bagels are so easy and taste great! Kelly
