High Protein Bagels
With just four simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you can enjoy homemade high-protein bagels that are both nutritious and delicious.
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Your favorite seasoning
OPTIONAL:
-Milk or egg white
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese in a strainer to help drain excess liquid
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Then add the drained cottage cheese. Mix until a dough forms. You may need to knead the dough to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
- Once the dough is well mixed, divide it into four equal portions, which make medium-sized bagels.
- Shape each dough into a bagel shape, ensuring the hole in the center is wide enough for your liking. You can use your hands to shape the dough, roll it out, and then form it into a circle.
- preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Sprinkle your favorite seasoning onto each bagel, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks. (FYI: If using milk or egg whites, brush each side of the bagels with milk or egg whites).
- Place the bagels in the preheated air fryer basket; do not overcrowd. You may need to air-fry in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air-fry the bagels at 350°F (175°C) for 18-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, carefully remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious high-protein bagels with your favorite toppings.
