I’ve posted about these like 12 times before but it’s because they are truly THAT. GOOD. Years ago I did this recipe with plain Greek yogurt, and that works great too, but swapping for cottage cheese creates a better texture I like even more!!!! Homemade bagels sound complicated to make, but these are fool-proof. Plus, there’s something about knowing exactly the ingredients going inside what you’re eating when you make things at home. Absolutely delicious 10/10

The recipe:

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or use a pre-greased baking sheet to prevent sticking.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cottage cheese, and baking powder. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands or add a small amount of extra flour.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use your fingers to create a hole in the center, forming a bagel shape.

Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash to give them a golden finish during baking.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and flaky salt generously on top.

Bake the bagels for 25–30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Let the bagels cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature. These bagels are seriously a quick, high-protein snack perfect for breakfast or on the go! 🥯
