Instructions
Making Spinach Cottage Cheese Flagels is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Spinach: In a skillet, lightly sauté the chopped spinach in a drizzle of olive oil until wilted. Set aside to cool.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and cooled spinach. Stir until well mixed.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
6. Shape the Flagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc shape, about ½-inch thick. Use your finger to create a hole in the center, forming a flagel shape.
7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your desired toppings on top of each flagel before baking.
8. Bake: Place the flagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
