- Add flour and salt, then stir until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the dough into six equal pieces, roll each into a rope, and pinch the ends together to form the flagel shape.
- Place the flagels on the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with water, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
