FAQs

Q: Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
A: Yes. Low-fat works but texture may be slightly different.

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: These need yogurt and cottage cheese. For dairy-free, try plant-based yogurt and a soft dairy-free cheese, but results may change.

Q: How do I shape the bagels easily?
A: Roll each portion into a rope, join the ends, and press to seal. Or make a ball and poke a hole with your finger, then widen it.

Q: Can I add sweet toppings?
A: Yes. For a sweet version, skip garlic powder and use cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar or oats on top.
