Ingredients

1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1 cup whipped cottage cheese

Optional toppings

1 small egg whisked
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

Preheat the oven or the air fryer to 180C/350F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and whipped cottage cheese and mix/knead them together to form a dough. If the dough seems dry and won’t come together, add more cottage cheese or a little water.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and shape into eight balls. Roll into a bagel shape.
Place the shaped bagels onto parchment paper and brush with the whisked egg. Sprinkle the toppings of choice.

Air fry

Place the bagels in the air fryer basket and air fry for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Oven

Place the bagels on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
