Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. (about 5 min) — 375°F
2. Combine the cottage cheese and self-rising flour in a bowl. Add half of the beaten egg and mix until a shaggy dough forms. (about 3 min)
3. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface until cohesive, about 1 minute. Divide it into four equal pieces, roll each into a rope, and join the ends to form bagels. (about 5 min)
4. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. (about 2 min)
5. Bake until puffed, golden, and cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. The centers should reach 165°F. (about 22 min) — 375°F
6. Rest the bagels for 5 minutes before serving. (about 5 min)
