Ingredient Notes

  • Cottage Cheese: This is the key ingredient that makes these bagels soft and protein-rich. Use small-curd cottage cheese for a smoother dough, or blend it for an extra creamy texture.

    All-Purpose Flour: All-purpose flour creates the best consistency, but you can substitute with whole wheat flour for added fiber or gluten-free flour for a wheat-free option.

    Egg Wash: Brushing the bagels with an egg wash before baking gives them a golden-brown, shiny crust. If you’re egg-free, try brushing with milk or melted butter instead.

    Everything Bagel Seasoning: A mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt gives these bagels their classic flavor. You can swap it for sesame seeds, cinnamon sugar, or even grated cheese for a different twist!
