Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour OR 1 cup whole wheat flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder + 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or coconut sugar (for topping)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the bagels.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine your choice of flour (self-rising or whole wheat with baking powder and salt), cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Add Yogurt: Pour in the vanilla Greek yogurt and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. The dough should be firm and slightly sticky.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a flour-covered countertop. Knead the dough gently for a couple of minutes until it is well combined and firm. Then roll the dough into a single ball.
- Divide Dough: Use a sharp knife to cut the dough ball into four equal quarters.
- Shape Bagels: Take each quarter piece and roll it into a log long enough to form a circle. Pinch the ends together firmly to seal and create the classic bagel shape.
- Prepare for Baking: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped bagels evenly on the sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash and Toppings: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the tops of each bagel with the egg wash. Then sprinkle cinnamon alone or cinnamon mixed with sugar over the tops for a flavorful, golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and develop a light crust.
- Cool: Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the bagels to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool before serving to set their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using self-rising flour simplifies the recipe; if using whole wheat flour, be sure to add baking powder and salt for proper rise and flavor.
- For a dairy-free alternative, use plant-based yogurt, but texture and rise might vary.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like raisins or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
- Brush with egg wash carefully to avoid pooling around the base of the bagels, ensuring an even golden color.
- Store baked bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
