In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Whip the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender.
Add the flour mixture to the whipped cottage cheese and pulse until it comes together.
Divide the dough into 6 portions.
Create 6 balls of dough and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Create a hole in the middle of each dough ball with your hands to create a bagel shape.
Brush each bagel with an egg wash (egg and water whisked together).
Sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or other seasoning. Or leave them plain.
Bake the bagels on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Check halfway to recreate the hole with the end of a wooden spoon if necessary.
Cool for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to completely cool.
Notes
Check the bagels about 10 minutes in. If you notice the bagels are losing the hole in the oven, take them out and make a new hole with the end of a wooden spoon.
Store the bagels at room temperature in a zip bag or other airtight container for 1-2 days.
