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
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. If desired, add a pinch of salt.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the cottage cheese. Mix until a chunky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead by hand for 1-2 minutes until a semi-smooth ball is formed.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each piece into a log, connecting the ends to shape into bagels.
- In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk with a splash of water or milk. Brush the egg wash on each bagel and sprinkle toppings.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F and grease or line the basket with parchment paper.
- Place the bagels in the air fryer and cook for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown.
- Once cooked, let the bagels cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
To keep bagels fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
