Ingredients
For the Bagel Dough
- 2 cups self-rising flour (Substitute with all-purpose flour and baking powder in a 1:1 ratio if needed)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (Plain yogurt can be a substitute if Greek is not available)
- 1 tbsp honey (Brown sugar or agave syrup can be used alternatively)
- 1 large egg (A flax egg can be used for a vegan option)
- 1 tsp salt (Sea salt or kosher salt can be used interchangeably)
Optional Toppings
- Herbs: Mix in garlic powder or chopped fresh herbs
- Everything seasoning: Sprinkle before baking
- Cheese: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a spacious bowl, thoroughly combine the self-rising flour and salt to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Gently add Greek yogurt, honey, and egg to the dry mixture. Stir until a slightly sticky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your countertop, turn out the dough, and knead gently for about 1 minute until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions, roll each into a ball, and poke a hole through the center of each ball to form the classic bagel shape.
- Bake: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through.
Notes
- Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze bagels for longer storage and thaw before serving.
- You can customize toppings by adding herbs, everything seasoning, or cheese prior to baking for extra flavor.
