Step-by-Step Instructions for Spinach Cottage Cheese Flagels
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 beaten egg. Use a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt until well combined.
  3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
  4. Chop about 1 cup of fresh baby spinach and add it to your dough, along with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold gently.
  5. With floured hands, shape a portion of the dough into a bagel-like ring and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. After baking, remove the flagels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
