Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350℉.
In a large bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, sea salt, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined, then form into a dough ball using your hands.
On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth. Sprinkle additional flour if the dough is sticky.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll each piece into a ball, and lightly flatten. Poke a hole in the center of each dough piece and stretch it to maintain the hole's shape during cooking.
Brush the tops and bottoms of the bagels with egg wash.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and air fry the bagels for 6 minutes. Flip them and air fry for another 6 minutes. This may need to be done in batches.
Remove the bagels from the air fryer and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite bagel toppings.

Notes

Bake the bagels in batches if your air fryer is small.
Adjust the baking time if your bagels are larger or smaller than standard size.
Experiment with different bagel toppings for added flavor.
