Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 1.5 cups of self-rising flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the bowl. Stir until a soft dough starts to form.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into six equal pieces, roll each into a long rope, and pinch the ends to form flagel shapes.
  6. Place the shaped flagels on the baking sheet, brush them lightly with water, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Bake the flagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
