Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt Adds moisture and tang
- 1 cup self-rising flour Provides structure and lift
- 1 large egg For egg wash, adds a glossy finish
- 1/2 tsp salt Enhances flavor
- Toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Greek yogurt with 1 cup of self-rising flour. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until fully combined, forming a thick, sticky dough.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the dough and gently fold it in using your spatula, ensuring even distribution.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about a minute until it feels less sticky.
Shaping
- Divide the dough into about four equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Make a hole in the center of each ball to create the bagel shape, stretching the dough gently.
Baking
- Preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the formed bagels on the prepared sheet.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash and brush it over the tops of the bagels.
- Sprinkle your choice of toppings over the bagels and ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Bake the bagels until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 20 minutes.
Notes
Use room temperature yogurt for easier mixing. Avoid over-kneading to prevent tough bagels. Experiment with different toppings for varied flavors.
