Homemade Bagels

Have you been scared to make bagels at home? With this recipe, there’s nothing to fear anymore! This quick and easy recipe uses no yeast, only a few ingredients and there’s no need for boiling or a high-end mixer. I whipped these up when my son was home sick a week ago and they were the perfect thing for him to snack on. Of course, I had to sample some and it was delicious. I can’t wait to experiment with the recipe and change-up the flavors!

1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 egg white, beaten
optional toppings: poppy seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon-sugar, everything bagel seasoning

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spray with oil and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork until the mixture starts to resemble small crumbles. It won’t completely come together in the bowl.

Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Pour the dough out on the floured surface and knead until the dough comes together and is tacky, but not sticky. It takes about 15 turns. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into a 3/4 inch thick rope and join the ends to form a bagel. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg white wash. Sprinkle with your desired topping. Bake on the top rack of your oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before slicing in half.
