Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 egg (for the dough)
- 1 egg + ¼ tsp water (for egg wash)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Toppings
- Everything but the bagel seasoning (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and 1 egg. Blend this mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt.
- Form Dough: Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold and stir until a dough forms. If the mixture feels too wet and sticky, gradually add more almond flour until it is easier to handle.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough equally into 5 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place them spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball gently with your hand or spatula.
- Create Hole: Using the back of the rubber spatula handle, gently poke a hole through the center of each flattened dough ball to shape the classic bagel form.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and ¼ teaspoon water. Brush this egg wash generously over the tops of each bagel to help achieve a golden, shiny crust.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the tops of the bagels with everything but the bagel seasoning to add savory flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bagels for 20 to 22 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to enhance their texture and flavor.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, add almond flour gradually until a workable dough consistency is reached.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For an extra boost of flavor, feel free to experiment with different seasoning toppings like sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
- Using full-fat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese helps maintain a moist texture.
- Ensure the bagel holes are large enough as they will shrink slightly during baking.
