Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, well-drained
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tsp water
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Stir flour and drained cottage cheese in a bowl until a shaggy dough forms, then knead briefly into a slightly tacky ball.
  2. Divide dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls, and poke a hole through each to form bagels. Place on a floured surface, brush all over with egg wash, and sprinkle with seasoning.
  3. Arrange bagels in the air fryer basket with space between each. Air fry 12 to 14 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until deeply golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  4. Cool 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

If your cottage cheese releases a lot of liquid, draining it in a fine-mesh strainer for a few minutes stops the dough from becoming too wet. For a taller bagel, shape the rings a little thicker and add 1 to 2 extra minutes of cook time.
