Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Topping
- Extra Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, making sure they are well mixed.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend together the cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese until you achieve a smooth mixture.
- Form dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough starts to come together.
- Knead dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape bagels: Divide the dough evenly into 6 portions and shape each portion into a ball.
- Create bagel holes: Using your finger, poke a hole through the center of each dough ball and gently stretch to form a ring-shaped bagel.
- Prepare for baking: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet and generously sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their soft, cheesy texture.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese, but note that the dough will be slightly softer.
- To freeze, let cooked bagels cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for up to one month.
- These bagels have a softer, more tender texture compared to traditional boiled bagels, and are slightly denser.
