RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For 2-ingredient-cottage-cheese-bagel

• 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• Milk for brushing, optional
• Everything bagel seasoning for topping, optional

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How To Make 2 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bagel

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Add the self-rising flour to a mixing bowl. Add the drained cottage cheese and mix well. Knead the mixture for about 2-3 minutes, or until it forms a smooth dough.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured wooden board and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope and join the ends to form bagels.
3. Place the bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, brush with milk or water and sprinkle with bagel seasoning. Bake for 22-28 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Remove the bagels from the baking tray and transfer them to a cooling rack. Let them cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
5. Slice the bagels and spread with butter, cream cheese, strawberry jam, or cream cheese topped with avocado slices, lime juice, salt, and red pepper flakes to make a bagel sandwich. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months and toast before serving.

RECIPE NOTES

1. DIY Self-Rising Flour: If you don't have self-rising flour, combine: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
2. If the dough feels sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour while kneading.
3. Blending the cottage cheese creates a smoother bagel texture.
4. For a more golden crust, brush with milk before baking (optional, though this technically makes it more than a 2-ingredient recipe).
5. These bagels are soft and chewy rather than dense.
