Ingredients
2¼ cups all-purpose or bread flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cups plain Greek yogurt (use full-fat or 2% for best results)
1 egg white, lightly whisked
Toppings: sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Preheat & Prep:
Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF and placing a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add in the Greek yogurt and stir with a spoon or your hands until a dough comes together. It’ll be soft—don’t overwork it.
Shape Your Bagels:
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and divide it into 6 equal portions. If things get sticky, dust your hands and the surface with a little flour. Roll each piece into a rope about 7–8 inches long, then connect the ends to form a circle. Gently roll the seam under your palm to seal. Arrange the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and let them rest for 5–10 minutes so they can puff slightly.
Add Toppings:
Place a bagel on a plate and brush the top with the egg white. Sprinkle on sesame seeds or everything seasoning—your choice! Return to the baking sheet and repeat with the rest.
Bake to Golden:
Bake the bagels for 20–25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and firm to the touch. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy them warm, toasted, or with your favorite spread. Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
Use Self-Rising Flour:
If you usually keep self-rising (or self-raising) flour on hand, feel free to use it! Just swap out the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and most of the salt with 2¼ cups of self-rising flour. You’ll still need to add ¼ teaspoon of salt for balance.
Seasoning Options:
You can mix things up with different seasonings—dehydrated garlic or onion work great! If you’re using everything bagel seasoning that already contains salt, reduce the added salt to ¾ teaspoon to avoid over-seasoning.
Air Fryer Method:
Preheat your air fryer to 300ºF (150ºC) for at least 5 minutes. Add the bagels and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and they’re fully cooked inside.
