Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2
If you want a smoother bagel blend the cottage cheese but this is an optional step if using small curd.
3
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.
4
Use a clean floured surface to work the dough. If using mix-ins add either here or right after dividing and work them into the dough. Kneed into large ball then divide equally into four chunks.
5
Roll into a log about 6 inches long then join the ends together to get the ring bagel shape.
6
Put the bagels on a parchment paper lined baking tray.
7
Sprinkle any toppings on (May need to press a bit to make sure they stick).
8
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until top is golden brown.
9
If using an airfryer disregard the oven steps and air fry at 280 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
