Ingredients
- 144 g hard white wheat berries Extra for dusting counter-20 grams
- 290 g full fat, 4% cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp Redmond's Real Salt
- 2 tsp baking powder

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar
Cinnamon Sugar Recipe
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp water
Other topping options: Adjust amounts as needed based on your preferences
- 2 Tbsp Seasame seeds
- 2 Tbsp Everything bagel sesasoning
- 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Sugar
Instructions
- Weigh and mill your wheat berries
- In a stand mixer, add all ingredients and mix just until combined. If you do not have a stand mixer, you can also make this using a bowl and pastry cutter or fork. I mix until the cottage cheese curds are broken down smaller than their original size, but still visible. If you are making cinnamon sugar bagels, add the 1/2 tsp cinnamon sugar to your dough.
- Scoop dough onto a clean, flour dusted, surface and divide into 4 equal sections.
- Take each section of dough, and roll into a smooth, tight ball. Flatten each ball until they are a round pancake shape, approximately an inch thick. Sprinkle a little flour on the top of the dough as well as on the table under the dough. Using your pointer finger, press into the center of the dough until you press all the way through to the table. Spin the bagel around your finger to open the center of the bagel up even more. Using your thumb and forefinger, stretch the dough out more until the center hole is atleast an 1" to 1 1/2" in across. If you make it too small, it will close completely during baking and not look like a bagel.
- Make an egg wash with your egg and water, and brush the top of your bagel with a pastry brush. I like to put my toppings on a plate and flip my egg-washed bagel over onto the toppings chosen. You can also leave them plain if you prefer.
- Line your air fryer with a piece of parchment.
- Bake at 375℉ for 15 mintues
- Allow to cool completely before splitting
