Easy Cottage Cheese Bagel (2-Ingredients!)

4 servings
Cottage cheese bagels made with two ingredient dough and topped with whatever seasonings you like.

Ingredients

  • self-rising flour
    1 c
  • cottage cheese
    1 c
  • seasoning ideas: everything but the bagel seasoning

    dried onion flakes, dried minced garlic, or cinnamon and sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Add cottage cheese and self-rising flour to a medium sized bowl. Mix well with a spoon as much as you can, and then switch to kneading the dough together with your hands. If it's too sticky, add a pinch of extra flour until it's easy to work with.

  3. 3

    Next, split the dough into four equal parts and form into a bagel shape. You can either roll them into a ball, flatten them and poke a hole in the middle. Or, roll into long log shape and then connect the ends together.

  4. 4

    To add seasonings, press them into the dough. You can also brush the tops with an egg wash and then sprinkle with seasoning.

  5. 5

    Arrange your cottage cheese bagels on a sheet pan that's lined with either parchment paper or silicone reusable baking mats.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 25 minutes. Bagels should be golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and eating. Serve with cream cheese, mashed avocado, a fried egg, peanut butter, or whatever you normally like on your bagels!
