High-Protein Bagels

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 01Preheat Oven & Prepare Sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 02Prepare & Knead Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and blended cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt). Stir until a cohesive dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5–6 minutes until smooth. If the dough remains sticky, dust lightly with additional flour until manageable.
3. 03Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 3 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball. Press a hole through the center of each ball using your finger, gently stretching to form a traditional bagel shape. Transfer the shaped bagels onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
4. 04Apply Egg Wash & Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and garlic salt until thoroughly combined. Generously brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash mixture, then sprinkle evenly with Everything Bagel seasoning.
5. 05Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and well-puffed.
6. 06Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing, toasting, and serving with butter or cream cheese.
