Greek Yogurt Bagels (Printable)

Fluffy no-yeast bagels made with Greek yogurt for a protein-rich breakfast ready in 30 minutes.

# What you'll need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, thick and full-fat or 2%
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour, or half whole wheat flour
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Egg Wash & Toppings

05 - 1 large egg, beaten
06 - Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, cinnamon sugar, or shredded cheese

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.
02 - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
03 - Add Greek yogurt and mix with a spatula or hands until a shaggy dough forms. Adjust consistency with additional flour or yogurt as needed.
04 - Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently, divide into 4 equal pieces, roll each into a 6-inch rope, and shape into rings by pinching ends together to seal.
05 - Arrange bagels on the prepared tray. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
