2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bagels

Notes

- You can add chopped olives, corn, dried herbs like oregano, chopped chives, garlic powder, and more — whatever you like. If using dried herbs or garlic powder, don’t use more than 1/2 teaspoon. - Instead of cottage cheese, you can use white cheese, farmer’s cheese or yogurt. In that case, use about ¾ cup (200 g), which is slightly less than the full container. You can also combine them to make ¾ cup. - Instead of egg wash, you can spray or brush with olive oil. - Sweet version: Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the dough and top with sugar and cinnamon. - If you don’t have self-rising flour, use all-purpose flour + 3/4 teaspoon baking powder. You can use spelt flour as well — just don’t forget baking powder if it’s not self-rising. - The bagels keep well in a sealed container or bag at room temperature. After two days, reheat them in a toaster or oven before serving. - You can freeze them after baking — just make sure they’re well wrapped so they don’t dry out.
