Don't like the texture of cottage cheese? Blend or process it prior to mixing it.

Too sticky? Add a little more flour. Falling apart? Are a little more cottage cheese.

Break your dough into 2 pieces and roll each piece around until you get a "rope"
Loop your rope around until it shapes a bagel and press your ends together

Having some flour on your hands while doing this can help the process!

Coat the top of your bagels with either some cooking spray or brush them with a beaten Egg

Coat your basket with cooking spray
Place your bagels into your basket

Place your bagels onto it
Put them into the oven on 375F/190C for around 20-25 minutes or until golden brown
