Description
Does anyone remember 2 ingredient dough with self rising flour and yogurt? Well these bagels are a variation of that. With whole wheat flour and nonfat cottage cheese, these super simple and quick bagels are a good source of complex carbs, fiber, and protein per bagel. They also use baking powder instead of yeast, so there's no proofing time necessary!

Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 2 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.33 Nonfat cottage cheese
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 410F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, (blended) cottage cheese, baking powder, and salt. Start with a silicone spatula, then switch to your hands. Knead until you have a fully combined dough ball
- Add in the olive oil, and knead for about 2 minutes, until you have a semi-smooth and fully combined dough ball
- Roll your dough into a log, about 8" long and 2.5" wide. Cut into 6 equal pieces, about 100 g each
- Use your fingers to carve out a hole in each piece, and shape into a round and flat bagel. Add to the baking tray. They won't expand outward as they bake, but they will puff up slightly
- Optionally, brush the tops of the bagels with egg (or egg whites or water), and sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning
- Bake at 410F for 20 minutes. Remove the bagels to a wire rack to totally cool, about 30 minutes on the counter
- Cut each bagel in half, and add a piece of parchment paper between the halves
- Add each bagel to a large airtight bag, with a piece of parchment paper in between each bagel. Store the bag of bagels in the freezer
- To reheat, air fry (or bake or toast) your bagels directly from frozen for about 5 minutes at 350F, or until crispy and lightly browned
Notes
- Make sure to use blended cottage cheese. You can also use plain nonfat greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese, but double the salt from 1/2 tsp (3 g) to 1 tsp (6 g)
- A classic bagel option is a bagel with cream cheese, so here I spread 2 tbsp (30 g) Labneh cheese (high protein, homemade cream cheese) onto a toasted bagel
- Another delicious option is a lox bagel with 3 oz (85 g) smoked salmon, 2 tbsp (30 g) Labneh cheese, and 2 tbsp (15 g) capers
