Don't knock it 'til you try it! This 4-ingredient protein bagel recipe is SUPER easy to make and is loaded with protein! The secret ingredient? COTTAGE CHEESE!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup cottage cheese , liquid drained
- 3 tbsp 3 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)
- 1½ cup self-rising flour (see homemade recipe below)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 380°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- 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.
- Add in the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix well.
- 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.
- Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Form each part into balls.
- Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick logs, then pinch the ends to form a circle.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
- Season with toppings, such as the classic Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)
- Bake for 30 minutes on the top rack. When done, broil for 2-3 minutes on high for golden crusts (optional)
- Let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting. ENJOY!
