Ingredients

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 large egg (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bagels.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and sea salt. Use a whisk or fork to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix well until combined. The mixture will be crumbly or clumpy; continue pulling the dough into one cohesive ball. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or an extra spoonful of yogurt.
  4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it about 10-15 times to form a smooth dough.
  5. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into 6 even pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1 inch or slightly less in diameter. Shape each rope into a circle and press the ends together firmly to form a bagel shape. Place each shaped bagel on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Add Toppings: Whisk the egg for the egg wash in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash evenly over all exposed surfaces of each bagel, including the center hole. Sprinkle your choice of optional toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or flaky sea salt on top.
  7. Bake the Bagels: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 19-23 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and tender.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving. They can also be enjoyed warm for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water or a little extra Greek yogurt to help it come together.
  • You can customize toppings to your preference with classic bagel options like everything seasoning, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds.
  • Do not overbake the bagels, as they can dry out; remove from oven as soon as golden brown.
  • These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt contributes to a richer flavor and better texture, but you can use lower fat yogurt if desired.
