Description

These Greek Yogurt Bagels are a quick and easy homemade treat made with just five simple ingredients. Soft, chewy, and perfectly golden, these bagels combine the tangy richness of Greek yogurt with a tender crumb thanks to baking powder. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, they’re customizable with your favorite bagel seasonings like sesame seeds or everything bagel mix.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour (5.6 ounces), plus more for dusting
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (any fat percentage)
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Sesame seeds
  • Onion flakes
  • Poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dry Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly combine the dry ingredients.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Stir initially with a spatula, then use your hands to combine everything into a ball of dough. Knead the dough about 20 times until it is no longer sticky but not dry either. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate.
  3. Shape the Bagels: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Shape the dough into a log and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a longer rope and then shape into a circular bagel shape by pinching the ends together firmly. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all dough pieces.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Add Toppings: In a small bowl, whisk the egg to make an egg wash. Brush each bagel generously with the egg wash, then sprinkle with your choice of toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or onion flakes. Alternatively, leave them plain.
  5. Bake the Bagels: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown on the outside.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before slicing. This resting period is important for perfect texture. Slice and serve with your favorite spreads or toppings.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt of any fat percentage; whole milk yogurt will yield richer bagels, while low-fat versions make a lighter option.
  • Resting the dough before shaping helps with moisture absorption and texture.
  • Make sure not to skip the 15-minute cooling time after baking for best results.
  • Flour the surface well to prevent sticking when rolling and shaping the bagels.
  • Bagels can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
