Easy Bagels

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free mix (5 oz)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg white or whole egg, beaten
  • Optional Toppings: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic flakes, dried onion flakes

Cooking Instructions

Oven Method

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Place parchment paper or a silpat on a baking sheet.  If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well.  Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined.  It will look like small crumbs.

Step 3: Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 15 turns (it should not leave dough on your hands when you pull away).

Step 4: Divide into 4 equal balls.  Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels (or you can make a ball and poke a hole in the center, then stretch it slightly).

Step 5: Top with egg wash and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice.  Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes.  Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Air Fryer Method

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well. Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined.  It will look like small crumbs.

Step 2: Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 20 turns (it should not leave dough on your hands when you pull away).

Step 3: Divide into 4 equal balls.  Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels (or you can make a ball and poke a hole in the center, then stretch it slightly).

Step 4: Top with egg wash and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice.

Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 280 degrees F.  Transfer in batches without overcrowding and air fry 15 to 16 minutes, or until golden.  No need to turn.  Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.
