Equipment
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 standard sheet pan
- 1 Basting Brush
- 1 kitchen scraper or large knife
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Self-Rising Flour
- 1 Cup 2% Cottage Cheese Good Culture
- 1 Egg Whisked (Optional)
- 3 Tablespoons Dan-O's Italian & Red Pepper Cheesoning Seasoning Divided
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. Then, keep cutting each of the dough pieces in half until you have 16 somewhat even pieces of dough.
- Step 5: Next, roll the pieces of dough into round bagel balls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Step 6: Grab a large egg and place into a small bowl and whisk until you have an egg wash. Use a basting brush to add some egg wash on top of each dough ball. Alternatively, you can spray each dough ball with some avocado oil spray.
- Step 7: Add a sprinkle of seasoning to each dough ball and then bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes or until your bagel bites have a nice brown color on top and appear cooked through. Allow the bagel bites to cool for 10 minutes and then serve them with some low-fat cream cheese, mashed avocados, on their own or however you enjoy your bagels!
