Instructions
Step 1
Start by combining the *cottage cheese* and *egg* in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or whisk to blend them until smooth. Gradually add in the *rice flour* and *baking powder*, mixing until you form a soft dough. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 2
Once your dough is ready, use your hands to shape it into bagels. To do this, take a piece of dough and roll it into a ball, then create a hole in the center with your fingers, forming the classic bagel shape. *Make sure to wet your hands* to help prevent sticking.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit)*. After shaping your bagels, place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of each bagel with the *egg yolk* and sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top. This will give them a beautiful golden crust.
Step 4
Place the tray in the preheated oven and *bake for about 30 minutes*. Keep an eye on them; they should turn a nice golden brown and have a crispy exterior. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 5
Your bagels are now ready to enjoy! They are soft on the inside and have a crunchy crust outside. Feel free to fill them with your favorite toppings like *cottage cheese, spinach, tuna, or cucumbers*. These bagels are not only delicious but are also a healthy breakfast option.
Servings
Oh, the possibilities are endless when it comes to serving your perfect bagels! These delightful treats make a fantastic base for all your favorite toppings. Try pairing them with creamy cream cheese or a luxurious layer of avocado for an elegant breakfast delight. 🥑✨
Feeling adventurous? Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of spicy hummus for a flavor explosion. 🌶️ Your bagel can even become a mini sandwich! Stuff it with tuna, spinach, and cucumbers for a savory lunch that'll keep you energized.
Don't forget the fun of a bagel dipping party! Serve them with a variety of dips alongside your favorite fresh vegetables for a delightful appetizer spread. 🥕🥗 This way, everyone can personalize their own bagel bites at your next gathering!
Equipment
A good mixing bowl is essential for making your dough. Opt for a medium-sized one to give you enough space to mix all the ingredients easily.

Variations
Looking for ways to tweak this recipe? Check out these fantastic gluten-free and vegan varieties to suit your dietary needs! 🥳
For a **gluten-free** option, simply replace the rice flour with a gluten-free flour blend. This allows you to enjoy bagels without worrying about gluten!
Want to go fully **vegan**? Substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit until it becomes gel-like) and use a plant-based cheese option. Your vegan bagels will still be delicious while keeping everyone happy! 🥯🌱
Faq
- What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try adding a little more rice flour until you reach a workable consistency. Remember, keep your hands slightly wet when handling the dough to prevent sticking!
- How can I tell when my bagels are done baking?
Your bagels should be golden-brown on the outside and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If they look perfect on the outside but feel soft in the middle, give them a couple more minutes!
- Can I freeze these bagels?
Absolutely! Once cooled, freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Just pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast on-the-go!
- What other fillings can I use for the bagels?
The sky's the limit! You can fill your bagels with anything from savory ingredients like smoked salmon to sweet options like jam or nut butter. Get creative!
- How do I store leftover bagels?
Keep your leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or refrigerate them to extend their freshness.
- What’s the best way to reheat bagels?
The best way to reheat bagels is in a toaster or an oven. This helps keep them crispy on the outside while warm and soft on the inside.
