Instructions

• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk well. Add the strained cottage cheese and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
  
  
• Wash hands and work the dough in the bowl, kneading until it comes together and is smooth, and tacky, but not too sticky, about 2 minutes (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
  
  
• Divide into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels. (or you can make a ball and poke a hole in the center then stretch it slightly)
  
  
• Top with egg wash or olive oil and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice.

• Spray air fryer basket with oil. Transfer the bagels to the air fryer basket in batches without
  overcrowding and air fry 350F 10 minutes, or until golden. No need to turn.
  
  
• Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting, this step is a must.
