Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Dough
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Toppings
- Sesame seeds
- Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Mix Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour until the mixture forms a shaggy dough, signaling the ingredients are roughly combined.
- Add Egg and Salt, Knead: Incorporate the large egg and salt into the dough. Knead gently on a floured surface for about five minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough evenly into four pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and use your finger to poke a hole through the center of each ball to form the classic bagel shape.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle on optional toppings such as sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving to enjoy with your favorite spreads or toppings.
Notes
- You can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
- For a dairy-free alternative, consider using plant-based yogurt, though texture may vary.
- Pressing the hole through the dough ensures even cooking and the classic bagel shape.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Feel free to experiment with toppings like poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, or coarse sea salt.
