Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/2 scoop protein powder unflavored
  • 1 whole egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp everything seasoning

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, self-rising flour, and optional protein powder. Stir until a shaggy, manageable dough forms.
  2. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and join the ends to form a bagel shape, pressing the seams firmly to seal.
  3. Place the bagels into the air fryer basket or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Brush the tops of the bagels generously with the beaten egg and sprinkle with everything seasoning.
  5. If air frying, cook at 320°F for 12 to 15 minutes. If baking in the oven, cook at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm.
