Ingredients
- 125 grams bread flour
- 6 grams baking powder about 1½ teaspoons
- 2 - 3 grams salt ¼ to ½ teaspoon, to taste
- 240 grams Greek yogurt full-fat, plain
- 1 egg large, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the oven rack in the top third. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms.
- Mix the dough with a spoon or Danish whisk, then knead it just until it comes together. Add more flour if it feels sticky. Work quickly, as the dough gets tougher the longer it sits—avoid over-kneading.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions (about 95g each). Roll each into a ball and make a hole in the center. Wet hands make this step easier.
- Brush each bagel with the beaten egg and sprinkle your chosen toppings on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Let them cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour, but expect a slightly less chewy texture.
- If you don’t have full-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat or dairy-free yogurt can work in a pinch.
- For the toppings, everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even grated cheese work well too.
- If you’d like to add some extras, try mixing in herbs like dried rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
