These homemade cottage cheese bagels are easy to make, incredibly fluffy, and packed with protein for a satisfying breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg (for brushing)
  • Toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix 1 cup (240g) of cottage cheese and 1/2 cup (120g) of plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. If it feels too wet, sprinkle in a little more flour.
  5. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten slightly and poke a hole in the center with your finger.
  6. Brush each bagel with a whisked egg and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
  7. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Let the bagels cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid dense bagels.’, ‘Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture.’, ‘Customize toppings with sesame seeds, flaky sea salt, or Parmesan.’, ‘Ensure baking powder is fresh to prevent spreading during baking.’]
