Ingredients
Bagel Base
- 2-3 cups flour bread flour or all-purpose*, plus more if the dough is too sticky
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups plain greek yogurt spoon and leveled or 1 (16 oz) container cottage cheese**
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg whisked together with 1 tablespoon water
Topping Ideas***
- Everything Bagel Seasoning
- Asiago Cheese
- Jalapeno Cheddar
- Cinnamon Raisin
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Place 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl, stir to combine, then mix in greek yogurt/cottage cheese with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Use your hands to knead the dough (add any mix-ins at this point) for about 3 minutes, or until a smooth dough is created. It’s ok if it’s a little tacky, but it should still be manageable (meaning you should be able to knead the dough without it really sticking to your hands). Add additional flour, if necessary.
- Divide into 6 balls, then shape into bagels**** on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with toppings, if using, then bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Keeping the bagels in the oven, reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through (the internal temperature should be 190-210 degrees F).
- Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying!

Notes
*Bread flour will yield a chewier texture. Amount will vary depending on the fat level of the yogurt/cottage cheese used as well as the brand as some brands are thicker than others.
**Full fat varieties of yogurt/cottage cheese (vs non fat or lower fat) will yield a heavier texture with a slightly stickier dough that may require more flour.
***See Flavor Variations above for suggestions.
****See How to Shape Bagels
Because these are a denser bagel, these are best served fresh if you’re not planning on toasting, but can be frozen for up to 3 months. If toasting, you may need a double toast or a “dark” setting to get these crispy, because they are so moist.
