Creating Spinach Cottage Cheese Flagels is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate all dry ingredients.
3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese, chopped spinach, egg, and olive oil until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The consistency should be slightly sticky but manageable.
5. Shape the Flagels: Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it slightly and create a hole in the center to form a flagel shape.
6. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning on top of each flagel.
7. Bake: Place the shaped flagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the flagels cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

These steps ensure that your Spinach Cottage Cheese Flagels turn out perfectly every time!
