Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup self-rising flour or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional toppings: everything bagel seasoning sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or shredded cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand for 2–3 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
  3. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope about 6–8 inches long and shape into a bagel, pinching ends to seal.
  4. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with beaten egg. Add desired toppings such as sesame seeds or cheese.
  5. Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden brown. For extra crispness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (optional).
  6. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy plain, toasted, or with your favorite spreads.

Notes

For gluten-free bagels, use almond flour (1¼ cups) and add an extra tablespoon of yogurt if needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for up to a month.
