Equipment
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 standard sheet pan
- 1 Basting Brush
- 1 kitchen scraper or large knife
- 1 Regular Bowl
- 1 Small Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Self-Rising Flour
- 1 Cup 2% Cottage Cheese Good Culture
- 1 Egg Whisked (Optional)
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Pre-heat your oven to 350 F and set your rack to the middle position.
- Step 2:Start by adding 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of 2% cottage cheese into a medium mixing bowl.
- Step 3: Use your clean hands to knead the dough together until a dough forms and there is no leftover flour. Shape into a round dough ball.
- Step 4: Lightly flour a clean surface such as your kitchen counters or a clean cutting board and then place your round dough ball in the center. Use a kitchen scraper or knife to cut the dough into four equal parts.
- Step 5: Roll out the dough into a thick rope and then place both ends together with about 1-2 inches overlapping and then squeeze the dough together to create a large bagel. Repeat until you have four large classic bagels.
- Step 6: Grab a large egg and place into a small bowl and whisk until you have an egg wash. Next, add your cinnamon and brown sugar into a regular sized bowl. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Step 7: Use a basting brush to add the egg wash on top of each bagel. Alternatively, you can spray each bagel with some avocado oil spray. Then dip your bagel (egg wash side down) into the mixture. Flip back over and place plain side down onto a baking sheet. Repeat and then bake the bagels for 25-28 minutes until they are a nice golden brown color on top and appear cooked through. Allow the bagel to cool for 15 minutes and then serve them with some low-fat cream cheese or nut butter of choice.
Notes
Hint: If the dough is a little sticky, add a small amount of flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands or fingers.
Hint: use parchment paper to make clean up easier!
