If you want a smoother bagel blend the cottage cheese but this is an optional step if using small curd.

Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add the cottage cheese and stir until it becomes a dough. If dough is too sticky or dry add more flour or milk respectively until it forms the proper consistency.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until top is golden brown.
