Notes
Keep your amazing flagels fresh by storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer enjoyment.
To revive that delightful fresh-baked warmth and chew, a quick toast in your toaster or a few minutes in the oven will make them taste just as incredible.
These flagels are absolutely fantastic served warm, split and generously spread with cream cheese, or even used as a base for a light breakfast sandwich.
For that signature amazing taste and tender texture, remember that using full-fat, room-temperature cottage cheese is key to a perfectly integrated and flavorful dough.
