Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups self-rising flour Creates a tender crumb without fuss.
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Thick, tangy, and high in protein.
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Optional, for a touch of sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder For extra lift if your flour is low on rising agents.
- 1 pinch salt Balances flavor.
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water For a shiny, golden top.
- sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or coarse sea salt For topping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey. Mix until smooth and slightly glossy.
- Add the self-rising flour and baking powder (if using). Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1–2 minutes until cohesive and springy.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your thumb and gently widen to form a bagel shape.
Baking
- Place shaped bagels on the prepared sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle your chosen toppings.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Cool on a rack for 5–10 minutes before splitting and enjoying.
Notes
Savory variations: fold in grated cheddar and chives for a cheesy bagel. For a sweet twist, stir in mini chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar after baking.
