Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or nonfat)
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
Topping Ingredients
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (or sesame seeds, poppy seeds, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the self-rising flour. Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour gradually.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log shape and then join the ends to form a circular bagel shape.
- Apply Egg Wash: Optional but recommended for a shiny golden crust. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of each bagel.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or your choice of seeds evenly over the bagels for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving to ensure optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour by adding baking powder and salt as indicated in the ingredients.
- Adding an egg wash is optional but will give the bagels a beautiful golden and shiny crust.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt if you don’t have everything bagel seasoning.
- For a less sweet bagel, omit the honey or sugar from the dough mixture.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh on the day of baking but can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
