Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces and shape them into bagels.

Brush the bagels with the whisked egg to help toppings stick.

For a keto option, try almond flour.
-
Add shredded cheese or garlic powder for extra flavor.
-
If using Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese, expect a slightly different texture.
-
These bagels can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispness.
