Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp water
Topping
- Everything but the bagel seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend wet ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and one egg. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Form dough: Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir until a soft dough forms.
- Shape bagels: Divide the dough into five equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. If the dough is still sticky or wet, gradually add a bit more almond flour to make it easier to handle.
- Create bagel shape: Place the dough balls on the lined baking sheet. Flatten each slightly, then use the back of the spatula handle to poke a hole through the center, forming a bagel shape.
- Prepare egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with ¼ teaspoon of water. Brush this egg wash generously over the tops of each bagel; this helps give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle everything but the bagel seasoning evenly over the top of each bagel to add texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the bagels turn golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to let them firm up and become easier to handle.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of almond flour if the dough feels too sticky, adding it gradually until manageable.
- Everything but the bagel seasoning can be substituted with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- For best texture, reheat bagels lightly in a toaster or oven before serving.
