2-Ingredient Yogurt Bagels (Print-Friendly)

Quick, soft, and chewy bagels made with self-rising flour and Greek yogurt for a wholesome breakfast or snack option.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

→ Topping

03 - 1 egg, beaten
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
04 - Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then shape each into a rope about 8 inches long. Join the ends to form a bagel shape, pinching to seal.
05 - Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with your chosen topping.
06 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely ready faster than you can brew good coffee—no yeast fussing or overnight proofing required.
  • The texture is soft and chewy in that honest way homemade bagels should be, with a slight tang from the yogurt that makes them taste less simple than they are.
  • You probably have these ingredients already, which means fresh bagels whenever the craving strikes without a grocery trip.
02 -
  • Don't skip the kneading step even though it's brief—those 2-3 minutes develop the gluten network and create the chew that separates these from dense doorstops.
  • If your dough feels too sticky, dust lightly with flour, but resist the urge to add more flour to the mixture itself; the yogurt-to-flour ratio is already balanced for the right texture.
03 -
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt creates noticeably softer, more tender bagels than low-fat versions—worth seeking out if texture matters to you.
  • Pinch the bagel seam really firmly when closing the ring; a weak seal means it might split open and flatten slightly during baking.
