Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whipped cottage cheese you need to measure out 1 cup of cottage cheese after it has been blended and it is completely smooth
- 1 beaten egg white for brushing
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon divided
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Then blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
- Measure out 1 cup of whipped cottage cheese. Combine with 1 cup of all purpose flour and 2 tablespoon ground cinnamon. (if using gluten free all purpose flour add the additional baking powder and salt). Stir until a thick, smooth dough forms.
- Combine the brown sugar, remaining tablespoon of cinnamon and pinch of salt and set aside.
- Lightly flour a work surface, then pat out the dough and divide it into four pieces. Flatten each piece and sprinkle ¼ of the cinnamon sugar mixture on it and fold it over. Roll each piece into a rope and shape it into a circle, using slightly damp fingers to pinch the ends together if needed. (there is no right or wrap way to add the cinnamon sugar, you are just incorporating it like this so you have nice little pockets of sweetness throughout the bagel. Don't overthink it.
- Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg white. Then place on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until golden and set.
