Revamping Bethenny Frankel’s Viral Bagel Recipe with AI

Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of active instant yeast in a bowl.

Blend cottage cheese until smooth (optional to leave whole curds).

Add blended cottage cheese and 1 tablespoon of honey to the flour mixture.

Mix until combined into a shaggy dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook for 4 to 5 minutes, or knead by hand for 6 to 8 minutes.

Scrape the dough from the bowl and place it in an oiled bowl to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour until puffy (not necessarily doubled in size).

After rising, divide the dough into 6 equal pieces, weighing about 92-93 grams each.

Roll each piece into a ball and create a hole in the center using your thumb or finger, stretching it slightly to form a bagel shape.

Prepare a pot of water at a gentle boil and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.

Boil each bagel for 30 to 45 seconds on each side, in batches of three.

Transfer boiled bagels to a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
