4-Ingredient Protein Bagel Recipe (No Yeast, No Boiling)

What If I Don’t Have Self-Rising Flour?

Not a problem! Just substitute the 1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour with 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, then add in 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt!

Just mix it together in a bowl, and it’s ready to use!

How to Make 4-Ingredient Protein Bagel Without Boiling

1. Preheat oven to 380°F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the egg, cottage cheese, and sugar. Make sure that you strain out any liquid from the cottage cheese, or the dough will be too wet.
3. Add in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
4. Lightly flour a clean surface and use a spatula to scoop out the dough. Keep in mind that the dough will be sticky. Knead until dough forms into a ball. The dough should be smooth and tacky, but not sticky.
5. Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Form each part into balls.
6. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick logs, then pinch the ends to form a circle.
7. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
8. Season with toppings, such as the classic Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)
9. Bake for 30 minutes on the top rack. When done, broil for 2-3 minutes on high for golden crusts (optional)
10. Let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting. ENJOY!
