Method
 

Bagel Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until smooth, then fold in 1 finely chopped onion.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add warm water, if necessary, until the dough is slightly sticky.
  5. Dust your work surface with flour, divide the dough, shape each into a bagel form, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. If desired, whisk 1 egg and brush it over the tops of the bagels for a shiny finish.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
