Soft, chewy Greek yogurt bagels with a protein boost and flavorful everything seasoning topping.

# Components:

→ Bagel Dough

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or 2%)
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Topping

05 - 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash

# Method steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Knead gently for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth, adding additional flour if the dough remains sticky.

  • Don't over-knead the dough—just 1-2 minutes is enough to bring it together smoothly
  • For perfectly round bagels, weigh your dough portions to ensure they're exactly equal
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days
  • Reheat in a toaster or 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore that fresh-baked texture
