Preheat the oven to 190 C°.

Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.

If using cottage cheese: fit the knife blade to the food processor bowl of PowerBlend 7 Kitchen system, add the cottage cheese, select speed 4 for 20-30 seconds.

Tip: Skip this step if you’re using yoghurt.

Remove the knife blade and fit the dough tool into the food processor.

Add the flour, baking powder and salt, secure the lid.

Select pulse in 7 short bursts, followed by speed 1 for 10 seconds.

Transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface.

With floured hands roll the dough into a ball, then divide into 4 equal pieces.

Roll each ball into a 15 cm (6-7 inch) rope, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick, join the ends to make a circle and pinch tightly to seal, then transfer the bagels to the lined tray.

Brush them with a beaten egg and top with your choice of mixed seeds.
