Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk together flour and baking powder. Add the cottage cheese and mix with a fork or spatula until it looks like small crumbles.
Working in the bowl, use your hands (or a rubber spatula) and continue mixing the dough until it comes together into a ball. It will be smooth, a bit sticky, and will begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl - it will resemble fresh made pizza dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead a few more times until no longer sticky. If needed, add an extra sprinkle of flour as you work.Use a bench scraper or a sharp knife to divide the dough into four equal portions.
With floured hands, shape each portion into a ball, then gently press your thumb through the center to form a bagel shape. Add more flour as needed to keep it workable. Place each bagel on parchment paper.
Pour your seasoning of choice into a wide shallow bowl. Brush the top and bottom of each bagel with the egg wash and dip each side into the seasoning mixture and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until fluffy and puffed up on the outside and golden brown over the top. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
