Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Poppy seeds
  • Sesame seeds
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature for your bagels.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons of sugar, and ¾ teaspoon of sea salt. Whisk or stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt: Add 1 ¾ cups of full-fat Greek yogurt to the dry mix. Stir thoroughly until the mixture comes together into a somewhat crumbly or clumpy dough. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water or a small spoonful more yogurt.
  4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently about 10 to 15 times until it forms a cohesive ball. This short kneading helps develop the texture without overworking the dough.
  5. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into 6 even pieces by cutting or pulling apart. Roll each piece into a thin rope about 1 inch in diameter or slightly less. Form each rope into a circle, pressing the ends together firmly to create the bagel shape. Place each shaped bagel onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Prepare Egg Wash and Add Toppings: Whisk the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over every exposed surface of each bagel, including the inner hole. Immediately sprinkle desired optional toppings such as everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 19 to 23 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking. Once baked, allow them to cool slightly before serving, or enjoy warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • For a slightly softer bagel, use full-fat Greek yogurt as specified.
  • If the dough feels too dry while mixing, add a teaspoon of water or a little more yogurt to help bind it together.
  • Feel free to customize your bagels with your favorite toppings before baking.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft interior and a golden crust.
  • These bagels do not require yeast or proofing time, making them a quick option for homemade bagels.
