Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 2 tsp cinnamon (for cinnamon-flavored bagels)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Cinnamon
  • Shredded cheese
  • Garlic & herbs
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you want to make cinnamon bagels, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry mix for a warm, spiced flavor.
  3. Incorporate Yogurt: Add the thick Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a rough dough forms. Then, knead the dough by hand in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface until it comes together and is slightly sticky but manageable.
  4. Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour your work surface and divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, lightly flatten it, then create a hole in the center using the handle of a spoon or by rolling the dough into a log and connecting the ends to form a ring.
  5. Egg Wash & Add Toppings: Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of each shaped bagel with the egg wash to help them develop a shiny, golden crust. Sprinkle on your choice of toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, cinnamon, shredded cheese, garlic & herbs, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Bake: Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  7. Cool & Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy as is or with your favorite spreads or accompaniments.

Notes

  • For best results, use thick Greek yogurt to ensure the dough has the right consistency.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference; savory or sweet options both work well.
  • These bagels do not require boiling before baking, making the recipe quicker and simpler than traditional bagel recipes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
