Greek Yogurt Bagels (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Bagel Dough
01 -
1½ cups thick Greek yogurt
02 -
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
03 -
4 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
2¼ cups bread or all-purpose flour
→ Topping
05 -
Sesame seeds or everything bagel blend
06 -
1 egg white, gently whisked
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C), making sure the rack is in the middle. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and leave it nearby.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt until it looks uniform. Toss the Greek yogurt into the dry mix and combine until dough forms. To mix completely, using your hands might be easiest.
03 -
Put the dough on a countertop or clean space. If it sticks, dust the area lightly with flour, though you might not need to. Split the dough into six even clumps.
04 -
Take a portion of dough and stretch it into a rope about 7-8 inches long. Connect the ends to shape a circle, pressing them together gently. To seal well, place the joined ends on the counter and roll lightly with your palm. Place the dough rings on the baking sheet, letting them rest for 5-10 minutes to puff slightly.
05 -
Put one bagel on a flat plate and coat the top using a pastry brush with the egg white. Sprinkle sesame seeds or an everything blend generously on top. Return it to the sheet, repeating for all other bagels.
06 -
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are nicely golden. Take the sheet out and place the bagels on a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
07 -
After cooling, cut the bagels and toast if you like. Serve them with cream cheese or whatever spread you enjoy. Store leftovers airtight for four days max.
# Notes:
01 -
Greek yogurt replaces yeast here, so each bagel has 10 grams of protein.
02 -
Swap the flour, salt, and baking powder for 2¼ cups of self-rising flour and ¼ teaspoon salt if you prefer.
03 -
To use an air fryer, warm it at 300°F and cook the bagels for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
04 -
Experiment with toppings like dried onion, garlic, or try the Jalapeño Cheddar flavor variation.
