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

Instructions
Add the flour to a medium bowl and combine it with the baking powder. Add a pinch of salt for extra flavor. Mix well.
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.
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.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it lightly all over each bagel. Add desired toppings.
Preheat the air fryer to 300°F and place the bagels in an even layer. Cook for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
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.
