Ingredients
- 270 grams full fat cottage cheese
- 190 grams self raising flour
- 1 egg (whisked)
- handfull chopped chives
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth.
- Add the blended cottage cheese, flour, cheese, and chives to a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until combined.
- Use your hands to bring the dough together, then transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for 4–5 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 5 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Poke a hole through the centre of each ball and gently stretch to form a bagel shape. Place the bagels on the prepared baking tray with a silicone mat or baking paper.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and a little salt and pepper.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth for the best dough texture.
- If the dough feels sticky, add a little extra flour when kneading.
- Top with your favourite seeds or seasoning blends.
- Store cooled bagels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Delicious toasted and topped with cream cheese, eggs, smoked salmon, or avocado for an extra protein boost.
