Ingredients
Scale
- 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. Add a pinch of salt if you prefer.
- Create a well in the center of the mixture, and gently add the cottage cheese. Mix until a chunky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until it’s semi-smooth. Add more flour if it’s too sticky.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each into a 6-7 inch log, connecting the ends to form bagels.
- Whisk the egg with a splash of water or milk and brush it over the bagels, then sprinkle with your chosen toppings.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F. Spray the basket with cooking spray, place the bagels in a single layer, and cook for 15-17 minutes, checking for doneness at 10 minutes.
- Let the bagels cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Kneading should be gentle; don’t overwork the dough. Keep a close eye on bagels as cooking times may vary.
