Ingredients
- 1 cup whole-milk cottage cheese
- 1 cup self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp white sesame seeds
- 2 tsp black sesame seeds
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Using a food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the self-rising flour and ground turmeric, mixing until a dough begins to form.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Lightly dust a surface with flour and turn out the dough. Knead for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth, adding a sprinkle of flour if it gets sticky.
Step 4: Shape the Bagel Holes
Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1¼ inches in diameter. Space them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Add the Sesame Coating
Combine the white and black sesame seeds in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the bagel holes with the beaten egg, then sprinkle the sesame seed mixture generously over them.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. The bagel holes should turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Remove the bagel holes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
Serving Suggestion
Pair these turmeric bagel holes with your favorite dip (like hummus or cream cheese), or enjoy them as is for a wholesome, satisfying snack.
Enjoy these flavorful bites, a perfect blend of good taste and healthy ingredients!
