Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour) adds structure
- 2 tsp baking powder leavening agent
- 1/4 tsp salt enhances flavor
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt thick consistency recommended, provides moisture and protein
- 1 egg for egg wash, adds gloss and color
Optional Toppings

Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the flour mixture and gently fold it in until a shaggy dough starts to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about a minute until it holds together and is no longer sticky.
- Divide the dough into equal portions to create your bagels, shaping each portion into a ball and poking a hole in the center.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the shaped bagels on the prepared sheet.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of each bagel, then sprinkle desired toppings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a rack before enjoying.
Notes
For best results, use thick Greek yogurt and ensure baking powder is fresh. Adjust baking time based on bagel size. Don't skip the egg wash for better color.
