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 bagels)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, thick consistency recommended
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Optional Toppings
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Cinnamon
- Shredded cheese
- Garlic & herbs
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you’re making cinnamon bagels, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon at this stage and mix well.
- Incorporate Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a dough starts to form. Use your hands to knead the dough lightly until it comes together into a smooth, slightly sticky ball.
- Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten it and create a hole in the center either by poking with the handle of a spoon or by rolling the dough into a log and connecting the ends to form a ring.
- Egg Wash & Toppings: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash. Sprinkle your choice of toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, cinnamon, shredded cheese, garlic & herbs, or chocolate chips evenly over the bagels.
- Bake: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and enjoy as a tasty breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use thick Greek yogurt for best dough consistency; avoid watery yogurt.
- Substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option but expect a denser texture.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking to get a nice rise and crust.
- Customize toppings to your preference, but avoid too many wet toppings that could prevent browning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
