Cottage Cheese “Bagels”
Posted On 29 July 2026
Another instance of me putting something on my site because the site I found it on was so ad-laden as to be unusable.
I haven’t actually made these yet but have all the ingredients so will tomorrow.
Yes: you can make your own self-rising flour easily.
Cottage Cheese Bagels
Saw this on IG. Then again on IG even more vaguely. Then on a site that was unusable. Those people suck.
Servings: 4 bagels
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Ingredients
- 225 grams full-fat cottage cheese (1 cup)
- 120 grams self-rising flour (113g AP, 6g Baking Powder, 1g sea salt)
- 1 egg, beaten (optional)
- Toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese (225g) in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- In a stand mixer with the dough hook, mix the cottage cheese and the self-rising flour (120g) for 5 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes, then mix for another five minutes.
- Pour out onto a floured surface and let rest 5 minutes.
- Flour your hand and divide into 4 equal portions. Should be ~86 grams each.
- Roll each into a ball then poke a hole in the center and flatten to make a bagel shape.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let rest 10 minutes. While resting, preheat oven to 375℉.
- If you'd like, beat the egg and brush each 'bagel' with the egg.
- Top with toppings (everything bagel seasoning, dried onion, chili flakes).
- Bake for 25-28 minutes until golden.
- Let rest at least 10 minutes.
- Enjoy the fact that you could read this recipe without 14 ads clogging up the whole screen.
