Protein bagels

Ingredients
2 cups Tipo 1 flour (can use all-purpose flour)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese, whipped
Egg (for egg wash)
Butter or olive oil to coat
Herbs and spices of your choice

Protein ranch dip
2 cups of plain full-fat blended cottage cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Mix dry ingredients together then add the wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.

Once combined, knead the dough with clean hands.
