This easy and healthy Greek Yogurt Bagels recipe uses just five simple ingredients to create soft, chewy bagels perfect for breakfast or snack time. Made with Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, these bagels are quick to prepare and bake, offering a delicious homemade alternative to store-bought options.

Ingredients

For the Bagel Dough

  • 2 cups self-rising flour (or substitute with 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tbsp baking powder)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, can substitute with regular yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar/agave syrup)
  • 1 large egg (or a flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp salt (sea salt or kosher salt)

Optional Toppings

  • Herbs (e.g., garlic powder, chopped fresh herbs)
  • Everything seasoning (sprinkle before baking)
  • Shredded cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the self-rising flour and salt to ensure even seasoning and rising.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gently add Greek yogurt, honey, and the egg to the dry mixture. Stir carefully until a slightly sticky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Knead Dough: Lightly flour your countertop and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently for about 1 minute until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, which helps develop structure in the bagels.
  5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to form the traditional bagel shape.
  6. Bake Bagels: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze the bagels and thaw before eating.
  • Feel free to customize with toppings like herbs, everything seasoning, or cheese to add extra flavor.
  • Substitute ingredients as needed for dietary preferences (e.g., flax egg for vegan).
