Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Add cottage cheese and self-rising flour to a medium sized bowl. Mix well with a spoon as much as you can, and then switch to kneading the dough together with your hands. If it's too sticky, add a pinch of extra flour until it's easy to work with.

Step 3

Next, split the dough into four equal parts and form into a bagel shape. You can either roll them into a ball, flatten them and poke a hole in the middle. Or, roll into long log shape and then connect the ends together.

Step 4

To add seasonings, press them into the dough. You can also brush the tops with an egg wash and then sprinkle with seasoning.

Step 5

Arrange your cottage cheese bagels on a sheet pan that's lined with either parchment paper or silicone reusable baking mats.

Step 6

Bake for about 25 minutes. Bagels should be golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and eating. Serve with cream cheese, mashed avocado, a fried egg, peanut butter, or whatever you normally like on your bagels!
