Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick, shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a piece of floured parchment paper. Knead 4 or 5 times until the dough is tacky but holds together. Roll into an 8-inch rope about 1 inch thick. Form a circle, pinching the ends firmly to leave a 1-inch hole in the center. Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet. Brush the top with egg white and sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the bagel is deep golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Done when deep golden and sounds hollow.
Slice the cooled bagel in half and toast if desired. Spread the cream cheese evenly over both halves and layer with the smoked salmon.
