Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blended cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, sea salt, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and brown sugar. Mix until combined with a silicone or wooden spoon, then press together until a dough ball forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Use additional flour if necessary to prevent stickiness.
- Split the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll each piece into a ball, and flatten slightly. Create a hole in the center of each flattened dough, ensuring it remains open during cooking.
- Brush the tops and bottoms of each bagel with egg wash.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and air fry the bagels for 6 minutes. Flip and air fry for another 6 minutes, possibly in two batches.
- Once done, allow the bagels to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure the dough is not too sticky by using flour as needed while kneading.
These bagels can be customized with various toppings such as cream cheese or fresh strawberries for added flavor.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container helps maintain freshness.
