Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese full fat or 2% excess liquid drained
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour plus extra for kneading
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Water

Instructions
- First preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain any excess liquid from your cottage cheese before measuring.
- Now we’re going to combine the cottage cheese and one large egg. If you have an immersion blender you can place the cottage cheese and egg in a large mixing bowl and use the immersion blender to blend them together. You can also place them in a food processor or blender and blend cottage cheese and the egg until smooth and then transfer the mixture to a large baking sheet.
- In a medium size bowl combine one cup of flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix well.
- Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture stirring by hand or with the dough hook of a stand mixer until everything is well incorporated. The dough will be very sticky and stretchy. You can add up to 1/4 cup more flour to make the dough manageable.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead into a large ball. Divide the ball into four equal sections.
- Form each dough ball into a bagel shape and place onto your prepared baking sheet
- In a small bowl beat an egg with one tablespoon of water to form an egg wash.
- Use a pastry or basting brush to brush bagels with the egg wash and then sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake bagels for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow bagels to cool before slicing and serving or storing in an airtight container. Serve the bagels with your favorite spreads or toppings.
