Greek Yogurt Bagels Flavorful (Printable)

Soft, chewy bagels made with Greek yogurt and topped with savory everything seasoning for a flavorful twist.

# What You Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full fat)
02 - 1 cup self-rising flour
03 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Egg Wash

04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 tablespoon water

→ Topping

06 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning blend

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and salt. Mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.
04 - Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 7-inch rope, then pinch ends together to form a bagel shape.
05 - Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water. Brush each bagel with the egg wash.
07 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously on top of each bagel.
08 - Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
09 - Allow bagels to cool slightly before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No boiling step means you skip the traditional bagel-making hassle and still get that perfect chewy texture.
  • Four ingredients in the dough—plus seasoning—make this foolproof enough that even your first attempt will turn out restaurant-worthy.
  • Ready in 40 minutes total, so you can have fresh bagels before your coffee gets cold.
02 -
  • Don't skip the kneading step even though it feels minimal—those 1 to 2 minutes transform the dough from shaggy to smooth and make the bagels chewy instead of dense.
  • If your self-rising flour is old, your bagels won't rise properly, so check the expiration date and replace if needed for best results.
03 -
  • If you don't have self-rising flour, make your own by whisking 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons baking powder and a quarter teaspoon of salt—it takes 30 seconds and works just as well.
  • The egg wash is worth doing right because it's what gives these bagels that professional bakery appearance and helps the seasoning adhere perfectly.
