Advices

Advice 1

Keep in mind that all ovens vary, so the baking temperature and time may differ from the recipe.

Advice 2

It is important to understand that no food or recipe is universally healthy or harmful for everyone. Many myths about "healthy eating" circulate online, distorting the concept itself. For example, the idea that all fats are bad is misleading. Therefore, any "healthy recipe" should be viewed as a general guideline, not an absolute rule.

Advice 3

Selecting the right cottage cheese is crucial. A low-quality product can ruin the dish, affecting texture, taste, and the final result. Choose fresh, natural cottage cheese without additives, spoilage signs (such as an unpleasant smell, uneven color, or separated whey). Also, pay attention to its texture—whether it's dry, moist, smooth, or grainy—and its fat content.

Advice 4

Important! To ensure your cottage cheese dough or filling turns out well, selecting high-quality cottage cheese is essential. Poor-quality cottage cheese can negatively affect baked goods, altering consistency, taste, and the overall outcome.

Preparation

Screen ON

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients. You can use cottage cheese of any fat content, but I recommend 5% fat as it works well for dough. Choose high-quality, smooth cottage cheese without plant additives. I use Suluguni cheese in this recipe, but you can substitute it with Mozzarella.

Step 2

Transfer the cottage cheese to a bowl and add one whole egg and one egg white. Set the yolk aside for brushing the bagels later. Mix well. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 3

Grate the cheese and add it to the cottage cheese mixture. Add salt to taste, keeping in mind that Suluguni is already salty. Mix well.

Step 4

Add rice flour and baking powder, then mix everything until the dough is smooth and even.

Step 5

Divide the dough into six equal portions. Using slightly damp hands, roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it slightly. Make a hole in the center using your thumb. Make the hole a bit larger than needed, as it will shrink during baking.

Step 6

Place the shaped bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Brush each bagel with the egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven.

Step 7

Let the cottage cheese bagels cool before serving. They make a great alternative to bread or buns. I like to cut them in half and serve with chicken, greens, tomatoes, or cream cheese. Enjoy your meal!
