Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Warm water Make sure it's not too hot!
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Feeds the yeast for better fermentation.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese or Greek yogurt Adds protein and creaminess.
  • 1 cup Shredded cheese Choose your favorite, mozzarella works well.
  • 1 cup Chopped spinach or herbs Infuses freshness.
For Topping (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds Adds crunch and nutty flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning Enhances taste with various spices.

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water until the mixture forms a soft dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let it Rise
  1. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Make the Filling
  1. While the dough rises, mix your protein filling choice. Stir well until creamy and evenly combined.
Shape the Bagels
  1. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly. Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center before sealing them up tightly.
Boil the Bagels
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop in each bagel and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they puff up and look glossy.
Bake to Perfection
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
