30-Minute Bagels

Mix yogurt and soft cottage cheese until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Mix quickly into a soft dough—it'll be a bit sticky, and that's fine. Don't overwork it with extra flour.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into 3 portions on a floured surface. You can make 4 if you prefer smaller bagels.

Shape into balls, poke a hole in the center, and stretch into rings. Make the hole nice and wide—it'll shrink in the oven.

Transfer to parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg yolk mixed with a splash of milk. Sprinkle with seeds.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
