Can I use low-fat cottage cheese for these bagels?

Yes, you can use low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese, but full-fat cottage cheese typically yields a moister, richer texture for the Garlic-Parmesan Cottage Cheese Bagels.

Do I need to use an air fryer or can I use an oven?

Both methods work perfectly! The oven is great for larger batches, while the air fryer is excellent for a quicker, crispier finish on the exterior.

Why is my bagel dough too sticky to handle?

The moisture content in cottage cheese varies by brand. If the dough for your Garlic-Parmesan Cottage Cheese Bagels is too sticky, simply add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is manageable.

Are these bagels gluten-free?

By default, this recipe uses wheat-based self-rising flour. However, you can substitute it with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and a bit of baking powder to achieve similar results.
