Recipe of 5-ingredient Bagels by Lindsay K

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • Topping
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Everything bagel seasoning

Steps

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients until mixed. Then add the greek yogurt and mix together until a dough forms. You might want to use your hands to make this easier! Add more flour as needed. The dough should be slightly sticky, but still kneadable.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Divide it out into 6 equal pieces. You can add more flour to each individual piece as well.
  4. Roll out the dough into a thick rope, about 7-8 inches in length. Join the ends and gently press. Place your hand through the hole gently roll the joining part on the counter so that the ends fuse. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and let sit for 5-10 minutes if possible. This allows the bagels to puff up more.
  5. On a clean plate, place one bagel, brush with the beaten egg white. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning. Place the bagel on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining bagels.
  6. Place the pan in the oven and bake the bagels for 21-25 minutes or golden brown on top. Remove the bagels to a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes or until cooled so you can slice them. Toast if desired and spread with cream cheese. Store leftover bagels in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
