If you love homemade baked goods but want to make something quickly and delicious, pay attention to cottage cheese bagels. They turn out tender, fragrant, pair wonderfully with any fillings, and even without complex techniques, they become little culinary masterpieces.
The recipe is versatile: you can change the flour, add seeds, herbs, or sweet fillings. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a festive table.
Ingredients:
- Cottage cheese — 200 g
- Baking soda — 0.5 tsp
- Salt — to taste
- Egg — 1 pc.
- Sour cream — 2 tbsp
- Flour — 170 g
Preparation:
- Thoroughly mix the cottage cheese with the egg, salt, and baking soda until smooth.
- Sift the flour and add it to the cottage cheese mixture.
- Stir in the sour cream and knead the dough. It should be soft, slightly sticky, but hold its shape well.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes — this will make the dough more elastic.
- Shape the bagels or mini-galettes with wet hands.
- Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with seeds (sesame, poppy, flax, or sunflower).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 25 minutes until golden brown.
Filling Ideas:
- Savory: ham, cheese, spinach, herbs
- Sweet: apple, cinnamon, raisins, chocolate
- Classic: cheese, garlic, and herbs
Tips:
- For a crunchier crust, add a little more flour.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for even baking.
Cottage cheese dough is a simple way to add coziness, warmth, and flavor to your weekdays. It is perfect for those who value speed, health benefits, and culinary creativity.
