Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Cottage Cheese Bagels
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.
  5. Turn the soft dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  6. Divide the dough into equal portions, and shape each piece into a bagel by pressing your finger through the center.
  7. Place shaped bagels onto the prepared baking tray and sprinkle the tops with extra Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.

Notes

Using full-fat cottage cheese yields a creamier texture. Be gentle when kneading to avoid dense bagels. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for optimum results.
