2 Ingredient Bagels

Information

Prep: 10 mins | Cook time: 25–28 mins | Serves: 4 bagels

Ingredients list

• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 250g cottage cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Optional toppings: poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic granules, Nigella seeds, cinnamon sugar

Method

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Loosen the cottage cheese by stirring it with a fork until smooth.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, salt, and the loosened cottage cheese. If the dough feels too dry, add warm water a little at a time until it comes together.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth—just a minute or two.
• Shape the bagels: Roll the dough into a ball, then divide into four equal parts. Roll each into a round, poke a large hole in the centre, and shape into classic bagel rings.
• Brush each bagel with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with your toppings of choice.
• Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until softly golden and cooked through.

To Serve

Delicious fresh out of the oven with butter, cream cheese, or avocado. Try sweet or savoury toppings—these bagels are the perfect blank canvas.
