Greek Yogurt Bagels

Greek Yogurt Bagels are a revolutionary 2-ingredient recipe that produces chewy, delicious homemade bagels in under 30 minutes with no yeast required. Made with just Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, these high-protein bagels are perfect for beginners, busy mornings, and anyone seeking a healthier alternative to store-bought bagels. Endlessly customizable with sweet or savory toppings.

Ingredients

  • Core: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or full-fat), 1¾ cups self-rising flour
  • Egg wash: 1 beaten egg
  • Toppings (optional): Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, cinnamon-sugar, sea salt, or Parmesan cheese
  • Mix-ins (optional): Blueberries, raisins, chocolate chips, cheese, or herbs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F; line baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Mix Greek yogurt and self-rising flour in bowl until shaggy dough forms
  • Turn dough onto floured surface; knead 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic
  • Divide dough into 4 equal portions; shape into bagels with 2-inch center holes
  • Brush bagels thoroughly with beaten egg; sprinkle with desired toppings
  • Bake 22-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped
  • Cool on wire rack 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt, not regular yogurt or Greek-style yogurt
  • Make self-rising flour by combining 1¾ cups all-purpose flour + 2½ tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt
  • Knead the full 5-8 minutes for proper texture—don’t skip this step
  • Make bagel holes larger than desired final size; they shrink during baking
  • Egg wash is essential for golden color and topping adhesion
  • Customize with mix-ins or toppings based on preference
