Delightful homemade bagels with spelt flour and low-fat quark for a nutritious, protein-packed breakfast.

Scale

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) with the fan on.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat quark, spelt flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix until a dough forms. If it’s too dry, add water a little at a time; if too sticky, sprinkle in more spelt flour.
Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each into a long snake shape.
Join the ends to form rings, ensuring the middle hole is larger for expansion during baking.
Place the bagels on a lined baking tray.
If you prefer a shiny finish, beat the egg and brush it over the bagels. Sprinkle sesame and poppy seeds on top, pressing them into the dough slightly.
Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy your homemade protein-packed bagels!

For a chewier bagel, let the dough rest for about 5-10 minutes before shaping.
