Prepare the Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Add cottage cheese and egg into a high-speed blender to prepare the liquid ingredients.
2. Blend until the cottage cheese is smooth.
3. Place the liquid mixture into a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the bread flour, almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt.

Create a Ball of Dough and Weigh

1. Mix the dry ingredients until a ball forms. There's no need to knead the dough. It should feel tacky with your fingers.
2. Let the dough rest on the countertop for 10 minutes.
3. Divide it in half. Each should be approximately 7 ounces.

Shape the Bagels

1. Press your thumb into the center of the dough ball to create a hole.
2. Gently stretch the dough by lightly pressing the dough between the gap of your thumb and index finger while your other hand rotates to widen the hole.
3. Once you can fit about 3 fingers into the hole you've made, lay it down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
4. Continue to stretch out the dough (if need be) while it's on the parchment paper.
5. Press the top of the bagel with your fingertips to ensure each is consistent in thickness.

Add Your Favorite Toppings and Bake

1. Brush the surface of each bagel with a beaten egg. This creates a shiny finish and helps the toppings adhere.
2. Sprinkle a generous amount of everything bagel seasoning (or your preferred toppings) over the egg wash.
3. Bake in a preheated oven set at 375°F for 25 minutes.
4. Once baked and cooled slightly, your bagels are ready to enjoy! Slice them in half and top them with your favorite cream cheese and toppings.
