Dough:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
For Assembly:
- 1 large egg, beaten, for egg wash
- Toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, shredded asiago cheese, or poppy seeds
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack to the top position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and pulse or blend on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the flour: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a medium bowl and add the self-rising flour. Mix until completely combined and the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead it 8-10 times until smooth. Add more flour to the work surface as needed until the dough is no longer sticky.
- Shape and season the bagels: Roll the dough into a ball and divide it into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into a 6-7-inch rope, about 1-inch thick. Join the ends to form a circle and pinch the seam tightly to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
