Description

This Greek Yogurt Bagels recipe creates soft, fluffy, and slightly tangy bagels using simple ingredients like all-purpose flour and full-fat Greek yogurt. Perfect for a homemade breakfast or snack, these bagels are easy to prepare in under 30 minutes with no yeast required. Topped with your favorite seeds or seasonings, they provide a delightful texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or self-rising flour)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (skip if using self-rising flour)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1½ cups full-fat Greek yogurt (thick and unsweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Sesame seeds
  • Poppy seeds
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Flax seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder (if using all-purpose flour), and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt and Honey: Add the full-fat Greek yogurt and honey (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or your hands until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead Lightly: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1–2 minutes until smooth. Be careful not to over-knead to keep the bagels tender.
  5. Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, poke a hole through the center with your finger, and gently stretch the hole to form a bagel shape.
  6. Egg Wash and Add Toppings: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each bagel. Sprinkle your choice of optional toppings evenly.
  7. Bake the Bagels: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute self-rising flour and omit the baking powder for convenience.
  • Do not over-knead the dough to ensure soft texture.
  • Toppings are optional but add great flavor and texture.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best results as it provides moisture and richness.
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
