Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
  • 1 cup cottage cheese low-fat or full-fat
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds Optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cottage cheese, egg, and baking powder.
  3. Mix well until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  5. Shape each portion into a ball, then gently flatten it slightly.
  6. Use your finger to poke a hole in the center of each bagel to create the bagel shape. You can also use a small cookie cutter.
  7. Optional: Brush the bagels with a beaten egg white and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a crispier bagel, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
