Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus about 1/4 cup extra for kneading
- 1 cup 0% Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Topping
- 1 egg, whisked
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the bagels.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder evenly.
- Add Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix together with your hands. The dough may be sticky at first; continue mixing and add more flour as needed by tablespoons until it forms a smoother dough.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes. If it remains sticky, dust your hands with extra flour to manage the stickiness.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a strand and pinch the ends together tightly to form a bagel shape. Repeat with all pieces.
- Prepare and Top Bagels: Place the shaped bagels on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush each bagel lightly with the whisked egg, then generously sprinkle the everything but the bagel seasoning on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the bagels develop a golden brown top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Optional Toasting: For extra crispiness, slice your bagel and toast it for approximately 2 minutes before serving.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To enjoy later, slice and toast the bagels for a couple of minutes to refresh.
Notes
- Use 0% fat Greek yogurt for a healthier, low-fat option.
- Adding extra flour while kneading helps manage the stickiness of the dough without making it too dense.
- Everything but the bagel seasoning adds a delicious, savory crunch to the bagel tops but can be omitted or substituted per preference.
- These bagels do not require yeast, making them a faster alternative to traditional bagel recipes.
- To freeze, wrap bagels individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag.
- For best texture, toast bagels after thawing from frozen before serving.
