Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, nonfat or full-fat
  • 1 cup self-rising flour or all-purpose flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg for egg wash, optional
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder if not using self-rising flour
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the dough. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough. Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  • Divide and shape. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into a rope and join the ends to form a bagel shape.
  • Egg wash and toppings. If using an egg wash, beat the egg and brush it over each bagel. Sprinkle with your preferred toppings.
  • Bake. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool and enjoy. Let the bagels cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. Use thick Greek yogurt. A thicker yogurt works best to create a firm dough and avoid stickiness.
  2. Flour your hands. Lightly flour your hands while kneading to prevent sticking.
  3. Don’t overwork the dough. Over-kneading can make the bagels dense instead of soft and chewy.
  4. Try different flavors. Mix in cinnamon, cheese, or herbs for a fun variation.
