Total Time: 45minutes mins
Ingredients
▢2¼ cups all purpose flour or bread flour
▢4 teaspoons baking powder
▢1 teaspoon salt
▢1½ cup Greek yogurt
▢1 egg white lightly beaten
▢Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
1:PREP: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put aside. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place a rack in the center of the oven.
2:MIX: Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. After that, stir in the Greek yogurt until a dough is formed. To make this easier, you might want to use your hands!
3:DIVIDE: Transfer the dough on a spotless surface. Split it into six equal parts. I didn’t need to dust the dough with flour if it was sticky.
4:ROLL: Form the dough into a thick rope that is between seven and eight inches long. Gently squeeze the ends together. Gently roll the joining piece on the counter so that the ends fuse by putting your palm through the hole. If at all feasible, place the bagels on the baking sheet that has been prepared and let them set for five to ten minutes. The bagels are able to swell more as a result.
5:SPRINKLE AND BRUSH: Place one bagel on a sanitized plate and coat it with the beaten egg white. Add bagel seasoning or sesame seeds on top. Repeat with the remaining bagels after placing this one on the baking pan.
6:BAKE: Put the pan in the oven and bake the bagels for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. In order to slice the bagels, remove them to a wire rack and allow them cool for ten minutes. Spread with cream cheese and toast if preferred. Leftover bagels can be kept for up to four days in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use self-rising/self-raising flour: If you usually have self-rising flour on hand, you can also use it. Use 2¼ cups self-rising flour in place of the flour, baking powder, and most of the salt. Along with the flour, you’ll still need ¼ teaspoon of salt!
- Seasonings: For these bagels, you can add a variety of seasonings. Onion or garlic that has been dehydrated might also work. To prevent the bagels from being overly salty, you may want to reduce the amount of salt in an everything bagel seasoning to ¾ teaspoon.
- Directions for the air fryer: Set the temperature to 300ºF for a minimum of five minutes. After that, add the bagels and air fried them for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a golden brown top.
- Variations: Try my Jalapeño and Cheddar Bagels for a different take on this dish! They are manufactured nearly identically!
