Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, thick consistency
- 1 cup self-rising flour or gluten-free self-rising flour
- 1 large egg beaten for egg wash
Optional Toppings
- sesame seeds optional
- everything bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to shape a bagel.
- Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg to create a golden finish when baked.
- Sprinkle your desired toppings, such as sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the bagels cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with cream cheese, avocado, or your favorite spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use 1-to-1 gluten-free flour. To make vegan bagels, substitute the Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt and use a flaxseed egg. Add honey or cinnamon to the dough for a sweet twist.
