Fluffy Cottage Cheese Bagels | Protein-Rich Breakfast

Preparation

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2
  Blend the cottage cheese until smooth and combine in a bowl with flour and baking powder. Work into a smooth, slightly sticky dough, then knead for at least 4 minutes until elastic. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces (approx. 80 g). Shape each piece into a flat disc, press a hole in the middle, and form into a bagel. Place the bagels on the baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
