3 Ingredient GF Cottage Cheese Bagels
I was doubtful about these– 3 ingredients? Bagels– for sandwiches or snacks? Protein packed AND relatively simple to make? But, they are all those things. I'm adding these to our frequent rotation. I used everything but the bagel seasoning and poppyseeds on my batch, but sesame seeds or grated cheese would work too. If you batter is seeming too dry add a splash of water and a drizzle of olive oil. Recipe adapted from made by molly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free flour blend (like Bob's Red Mill brand)
- 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 1 egg beaten, for egg wash on top
- toppings: everything but the bagel seasoning, poppyseeds, sesame seeds, shredded cheese, etc.
- 2 tsp baking powder (if using gf flour blend)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese (pulse and scrape down in between if necessary).
- Transfer cottage cheese mixture to a mixing bowl. Mix in flour completely. If batter is too dry, add a splash of water and healthy drizzle of olive oil until you can combine it. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead it 8-10 times until smooth and no longer sticky.
- Roll dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into a 6-7 inch rope (about 1 inch thick). Join the ends to make a circle. Brush tops with egg wash and top with seasoning of your choice.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes in the oven. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
