Ingredients

1 cup 4% fat cottage cheese
2 eggs
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (optional)
½ cup Sinless Sourdough living starter
2.5 cups almond flour
3 tbsp psyllium (+1 tbsp more if needed)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mini mixer or blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add the Sinless Sourdough living starter to the bowl. Your starter will be dry and crumbly—this is perfect! Do not add water.
Add almond flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and baking powder to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a moist dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add psyllium husk one tablespoon at a time until it firms up; if too dry, add milk (cow’s, almond, or coconut) one tablespoon at a time.
Gather the dough into a ball by pulling in all loose pieces until it holds together nicely. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the dough to firm up for easier shaping.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Press each ball into a round about 4 inches in diameter (the size of an average bagel). Using your finger, create a hole in the center of each round that’s large enough to remain intact when the Flagel expands in the oven.
Whisk one egg in a small bowl and brush it over each Flagel using a pastry brush. Sprinkle your choice of toppings generously on each Flagel—get creative! For larger toppings like onion flakes or pumpkin seeds, gently press them into the dough so they stick better during baking. Optionally, spray each Flagel lightly with oil spray to seal in the toppings.
Place your Flagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and transfer immediately to a cooling rack to prevent sogginess from forming underneath. Let cool completely before serving.
