Ingredients
Scale
For the bagels:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for more fiber)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt (thick, unsweetened)
Optional toppings:
- Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water) for glossy tops
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Oats
- Cinnamon sugar (for sweet version)
- Chia or flax seeds
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix until fully combined and evenly distributed.
3. Add the yogurt
- Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl of dry ingredients.
- Use a spatula or your hands to mix the dough until it starts coming together.
- The dough should be slightly sticky but firm and pliable.
4. Knead the dough
- Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 2–3 minutes.
- If dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour (1 tablespoon at a time).
5. Divide and shape the dough
- Divide dough into 6 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a rope and join the ends to form a bagel shape.
- Press ends firmly to seal the circle.
6. Apply egg wash and toppings
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water to create the egg wash.
- Brush the tops of the bagels with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
- Sprinkle with your choice of toppings (everything seasoning, sesame, oats, etc.).
7. Bake the bagels
- Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and firm to touch.
- For extra browning, broil the tops for the last 1–2 minutes—watch closely.
8. Cool and serve
- Let bagels cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing or storing.
- Serve warm, toasted, or chilled with your favorite spreads or fillings.
