Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Dough
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)
Toppings and Finishing
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
- Make Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with the self-rising flour. Mix until a shaggy dough forms that starts to come together but remains slightly sticky.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and slightly tacky without sticking excessively.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope shape and then form into a classic bagel ring by pinching the ends securely to seal.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a glossy finish and sprinkle with your choice of optional toppings like sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, or sea salt for extra flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- If self-rising flour is not available, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the bagels in a sealed bag or container, and thaw them before serving.
