Crispy Chilli Oil Bagels Recipe | Marion's Kitchen

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
• 190 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
• 3 tbsp Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil, plus extra to serve

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. 2

   Add the plain flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

3. 3

   Add the blended cottage cheese to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms, then use your hands to bring it together.

4. 4

   Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is relatively smooth and easy to handle.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly. Add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil to the centre of each piece. Fold the dough over the filling, then gently knead once or twice to lightly incorporate the chilli oil.

6. 6

   Roll each piece back into a ball. Poke a hole through the centre, then gently stretch the dough with your fingers to form a bagel shape.

7. 7

   Place the bagels onto the prepared tray. Brush each one with egg wash, then drizzle over a little extra Crispy Chilli Oil.

8. 8

   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bagels are puffed, golden and cooked through.

9. 9

   Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing. Serve with extra cottage cheese and another drizzle of Marion’s Kitchen Crispy Chilli Oil.
