High-Protein Jalapeño Cheddar Bagels | Easy 2-Ingredient Dough Recipe!

Mix 2 cups of self-rising flour, 1 tbsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt in a bowl.

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of cottage cheese to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly.

Incorporate 1 tbsp of finely chopped pickled jalapeno slices into the dough and mix until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured work surface until completely combined, which should take a few minutes.

Cut the dough into eight even pieces using a dough cutter.

Roll each piece into a ball and poke a hole through each to form bagels.

Place the formed bagels onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Prepare the egg wash by cracking 1 egg into a bowl and whisking it.

Brush the egg wash over the bagels.

Top the bagels with 1/2 cup of shredded light cheddar cheese, distributing it evenly.

Optionally, add more chopped pickled jalapeno slices for extra spice.

Bake the bagels at 350°F for 25 to 28 minutes.

Let the bagels cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
