Soft, protein-rich bagels blended with creamy cottage cheese, perfect for breakfast or a wholesome snack.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat or full fat)
02 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 tablespoon sugar

→ Topping

07 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil or spray the parchment surface.
02 - In a bowl, blend cottage cheese until mostly smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2 to 3 minutes until soft and cohesive.
04 - Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a log and shape into bagels by pinching the ends to seal.
05 - Beat the egg and brush it evenly over each bagel. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if using.
06 - Bake bagels for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Blending cottage cheese into the dough adds protein and a tender texture.
