Discover how to make chewy, protein-packed bagels using cottage cheese and self-rising flour. This easy recipe promises a delicious and nutritious twist on your favorite breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) cottage cheese (full-fat recommended), blended smooth
- 1 ½ cups (180g) self-rising flour (or homemade equivalent)
- ½ cup (50g) unflavored whey or casein protein powder
- 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
- 2 tbsp Everything Bagel seasoning (or desired toppings)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and protein powder. Add blended cottage cheese and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface for 2-3 minutes until cohesive.
- Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and stretch to form a bagel shape (approx. 1-1.5 inch hole).
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Boil bagels for 30 seconds per side, then transfer to the baking sheet.
- Brush bagels with egg wash and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
