Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt – optional
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons cottage cheese – 2% or 4%
  • 1 egg – optional

Toppings:

  • everything seasoning
  • poppy seeds
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Add the flour to a medium bowl and combine it with the baking powder. Add a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Mix well.
  2. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the cottage cheese. Mix the dough until it begins to form a chunky dough.
  3. Turn the bagel dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it with your hands until it forms a semi-smooth ball of dough. Divide into 4 equal sections and shape into bagels.
  4. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it lightly all over each bagel. Add desired toppings.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 300°F and place the bagels in an even layer. Cook for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Let the bagels cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings to your preference.
  • For a richer flavor, you can add herbs or cheese to the dough.
