FAQ
Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes, you can use low-fat cottage cheese, but the texture and flavor may slightly differ. Full-fat cottage cheese gives the bagels a richer, softer texture.

Can I make these gluten-free?
If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, try substituting the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes baking powder.
