Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour as a substitute)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 2 tsp cinnamon (if making cinnamon bagels)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (thick consistency recommended)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Cinnamon
  • Shredded cheese
  • Garlic & herbs blend
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. If you want cinnamon-flavored bagels, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  3. Incorporate Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until a dough begins to form. Then, use your hands to knead the dough gently until it comes together into a cohesive ball.
  4. Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour your work surface to avoid sticking. Divide the dough evenly into 4 portions. Roll each piece into a ball, flatten it slightly, and create a hole in the center using the handle of a spoon or by rolling the dough into a log and connecting the ends to form bagel shapes.
  5. Egg Wash & Toppings: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over each bagel to give them a glossy golden finish. Sprinkle your choice of toppings—such as everything bagel seasoning, shredded cheese, cinnamon, garlic & herbs, or chocolate chips—on top evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the shaped and topped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
  7. Cool & Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve fresh and enjoy your homemade Greek Yogurt Bagels!

Notes

  • If you prefer softer bagels, use full-fat Greek yogurt for richer texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based thick yogurt.
  • Make sure the Greek yogurt is thick; watery yogurt might affect the dough consistency.
  • Bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings to customize your bagels.
