- 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
- Combine the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. Optionally, add a pinch of salt.
- Create 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 it by hand for 1-2 minutes until it forms a semi-smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each into a log, about 6-7 inches long and 3/4 inch thick, connecting the ends to shape bagels.
- Whisk the egg and brush it on each bagel, then sprinkle with toppings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F and place the bagels in the basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown, checking after 10 minutes.
- Cool the bagels for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
