Possible Ingredient Alternatives

Greek yogurt can be substituted with plain regular yogurt, strained to remove excess liquid, or dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt for a vegan option. These alternatives maintain the tangy flavor and moisture content necessary for the bagel dough. Adjust the flour quantity slightly if using a thinner yogurt to achieve the right consistency.

Regular flour can be replaced with whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. Use 7/8 cup whole wheat flour for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour to maintain proper texture. For a low-carb option, almond flour or coconut flour can be used, but the liquid content may need adjustment.

Egg can be substituted with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) for a vegan version. This replacement provides binding properties similar to eggs. Alternatively, 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce can be used, though it may slightly alter the flavor profile.

  • Calories: 650-750
  • Protein: 30-40 g
  • Fat: 10-15 g
  • Carbohydrates: 90-100 g

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons regular or gluten-free flour (about 5.6 ounces), plus extra for dusting
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup greek yogurt (any fat content)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Optional toppings: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, onion flakes, poppy seeds

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup later on.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients and Form the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Whisk these dry ingredients together to fully integrate them.

Add Greek yogurt to the bowl and stir with a spatula until the mixture begins to combine.

Then, use your hands to mix and knead the dough into a ball.

Knead the dough about 20 times until it’s no longer sticky but not too dry.

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax and hydrate properly.

Step 3: Shape the Bagels

Sprinkle a bit of flour onto your countertop to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough onto it.

Form the dough into a log shape and cut it into 4 even pieces.

Roll each piece into a longer rope, then shape into a bagel by bringing the ends together and pinching them to form a circle.

Place these pre-shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat the process with the remaining pieces of dough.

Step 4: Add an Egg Wash and Toppings

In a small bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash.

Brush the surface of each bagel with the egg wash to give them a shiny finish.

Sprinkle your preferred toppings on the bagels—such as everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or onion flakes—or leave them plain for a classic look.

Step 5: Bake and Enjoy

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bagels for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffy.

Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for 15 minutes before slicing (this step is essential to complete the baking process).

After cooling slightly, slice your bagels, spread with your choice of toppings, and enjoy your homemade bagels!
