Delicious and easy 3-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Bagels are soft, cheesy, and made with simple pantry staples. This quick recipe combines self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and mozzarella cheese for a chewy, flavorful bagel that’s perfect for breakfast or snacks. With minimal ingredients and only 35 minutes total time, these homemade bagels are a fantastic alternative to store-bought versions.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese

Topping

  • 1 tsp melted butter
  • Seeds for sprinkling (such as sesame, poppy, or everything bagel seasoning)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bagels evenly.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and mozzarella cheese. Stir and knead until a smooth dough forms that is soft but not sticky. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until manageable.
  3. Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Then, shape each ball into a bagel by forming a hole in the center with your fingers and smoothing the edges.
  4. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and arrange the shaped bagels evenly on the sheet, allowing space for slight expansion during baking.
  5. Top and Bake: Brush each bagel with melted butter for a golden finish and sprinkle your choice of seeds on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bagels turn golden brown and cook through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a cooling rack. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more self-rising flour until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture and better binding.
  • Try different seeds or seasoning blends for added flavor variety.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat bagels in a toaster oven or microwave for a warm, fresh taste.
