Easiest Two-Ingredient Bagel Recipe Ever
Hot, crusty bagels at home take just two ingredients (and they're SO chewy on the inside)
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (if you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat for lower calorie options, but full-fat Greek yogurt can also be used and offers a chewier and richer taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a dough forms. It will be somewhat sticky but should come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about three to five minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour but be cautious not to add too much. If you have kids, this is an especially fun part of the recipe for them to help with.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a rope about 3/4 inch thick, then join the ends to form a bagel shape.
- Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water) for a golden color, and sprinkle with your favorite toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning if desired. But this isn't entirely necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
- Allow the bagels to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Eat 'em solo or topped with goodies like butter, cream cheese or whatever else you like on a bagel.
