Description
High-protein homemade bagels made with cottage cheese, garlic, and Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Optional: 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: extra Parmesan or garlic seasoning
Instructions
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
Mix it with the egg, flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, and salt until a sticky dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
Roll each piece into a log and shape into a bagel by sealing the ends.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash and add toppings if desired.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 22–25 minutes until golden brown.
Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for a crispier top.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Blend the cottage cheese well for a smooth dough.
The dough will be sticky, so lightly flour your hands when shaping.
For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
For dairy-free, use dairy-free cottage cheese and replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
