Delicious, high-protein bagels made in the air fryer, perfect for a quick breakfast or 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

  1. Combine the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  2. Create a well in the center and add the cottage cheese. Mix until a chunky dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until semi-smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each into a 6-7 inch log, connecting the ends to form bagels.
  5. Whisk the egg with a splash of water or milk in a small bowl, then brush over bagels, adding toppings.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 300°F and spray the basket lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Place the bagels in a single layer and cook for 15-17 minutes, checking for doneness around the 10-minute mark.
  8. Let the bagels cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Bagels can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
