Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten-free plain/all-purpose flour *check that it includes xanthan gum, if not add ½ tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg lightly beaten (for brushing)
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, grated cheese, herbs, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or with a stick blender until smooth. This helps give the bagels a better texture and ensures the dough comes together evenly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until a sticky dough forms.
  • Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into three equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a log, then shape into a ring (bagel shape), pressing the ends together to seal well.
  • Place on the baking tray, brush with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with your choice of toppings (optional).
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving or slicing.

Notes

* Note: Make sure your gluten-free flour blend includes xanthan gum, which helps mimic the stretchiness of gluten and gives structure to baked goods. If your flour doesn’t contain it, add ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum to the mix.
