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
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. If you’d like, add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the cottage cheese. Use a fork or rubber spatula to combine until a chunky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for about 1-2 minutes until you form a semi-smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a log about 6-7 inches long and 3/4 inch thick. Connect the ends to shape them into bagels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a splash of water or milk if using. Brush the egg wash over each bagel and sprinkle on your desired toppings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F. Consider greasing or lining the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Place the bagels in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-17 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
- After cooking, allow the bagels to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
These bagels are great for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
