Ingredients

For the Bagel Dough

  • 2 cups self-rising flour (or substitute with all-purpose flour and baking powder in a 1:1 ratio)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain yogurt can be used as a substitute)
  • 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar or agave syrup)
  • 1 large egg (or a flax egg for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp salt (sea salt or kosher salt can be used)

Optional Toppings

  • Herbs (such as garlic powder or chopped fresh herbs)
  • Everything seasoning (to sprinkle before baking)
  • Cheese (a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the bagels.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the self-rising flour and salt.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gently add the Greek yogurt, honey, and egg into the dry flour mixture. Stir until a slightly sticky dough forms, ensuring the ingredients are well combined.
  4. Knead Dough: Lightly flour your countertop and turn out the dough. Knead gently for about 1 minute until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to form the traditional bagel shape.
  6. Bake: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle optional toppings such as herbs, everything seasoning, or cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the bagels turn golden brown.

Notes

  • Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze bagels for longer storage; thaw and warm before serving.
  • Substitute ingredients as needed for dietary preferences or availability, such as using plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt or a flax egg for vegan needs.
  • Optional toppings enhance flavor and texture but are not necessary for the basic recipe.
