Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour (plus ¼ cup for shaping)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or more to taste)

Wet Ingredients

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 large egg (beaten, for brushing)

Toppings

1 tablespoon everything but the bagel seasoning (or your favorite toppings)

Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a half cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add yogurt and form dough: Add the plain Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and no longer sticky, incorporating up to ¼ cup additional flour as necessary.
Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces, roll each into a 6-inch rope, and pinch the ends together to form bagel shapes.
Add toppings: Place the formed bagels on the prepared baking sheet, brush each with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning or toppings of choice.
Bake: Bake the bagels in the middle rack of the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Cool and serve: Allow the bagels to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use plain Greek yogurt for the best protein content and texture.
Adjust salt quantity based on your taste preference.
You can substitute everything but the bagel seasoning with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or omit toppings altogether.
Ensure not to add too much extra flour while kneading to keep the bagels soft.
Store leftover bagels in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days or freeze for longer storage.
