1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional toppings: Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth.

Mix blended cottage cheese with flour to form a dough.

Divide into 4 equal pieces, roll each into a rope, and shape into bagels.

Place on baking sheet, brush tops with beaten egg, and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.

Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Cool slightly and enjoy fresh—or slice and toast later!
