1-Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any sticking. This sets the stage for a smooth baking process. Once that’s done, you can move on to mixing and shaping your dough.

2-First Steps: Mixing the Ingredients Pulse the cottage cheese in a mini food processor until it’s smooth, which helps blend everything nicely. In a large bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese with the flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, chopped baby spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese until fully incorporated. This mix creates a dough that’s easy to handle and packed with flavor.

3-Shaping and Baking Form the dough into a thick 6-inch log and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each one into a flat circle and make a hole in the middle to form the flagel shape. Arrange them on your prepared baking sheet, brush with the lightly beaten egg for a golden finish, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until they’re golden brown.

4-First: Preheat oven and line baking sheet.

5-Second: Process cottage cheese until smooth.

6-Third: Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

7-Fourth: Shape the dough into portions and form flagels.

8-Fifth: Brush with egg wash and bake.

9-Sixth: Cool on a wire rack before serving.
