Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blended cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, sea salt, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and brown sugar. Stir with a spoon until mixed, then form into a dough ball using your hands.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding flour as needed to reduce stickiness.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each into a ball, flatten slightly, and create a hole in the center to shape into bagels.
- Brush both sides of each bagel with egg wash.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and air fry bagels for 6 minutes, flip, and air fry for an additional 6 minutes, potentially in batches.
- Let the bagels cool for 5 minutes before serving and enjoy with preferred toppings.
Notes
Ensure the dough is not too sticky by adding enough flour during kneading.
Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
