Method
 

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. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. This should take about a minute.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, taking around 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add in 1 cup of chopped baby spinach and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Gently fold until evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
  5. Shape portions of the dough into bagel-like forms and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes before placing in your baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Remove the flagels from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before enjoying.
