Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour, plus ¼ cup for shaping
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg, beaten
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon everything but the bagel seasoning, or your favorite toppings
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add yogurt: Add the plain Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but should hold together well.
- Shape the bagels: Lightly flour a clean surface with ¼ cup of flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead gently just until smooth, about 5-6 times. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Poke a hole through the center of each ball and gently stretch it to form the classic bagel shape.
- Apply egg wash and seasonings: Brush each shaped bagel with the beaten egg to help them brown and help the seasoning stick. Sprinkle the tops generously with everything but the bagel seasoning or your preferred topping.
- Bake the bagels: Place the bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove bagels from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy them sliced with cream cheese, butter, or your favorite spread.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, you can bake the bagels on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt instead of everything but the bagel seasoning.
- These bagels do not require boiling; the baking powder helps them rise and become light and fluffy.
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
