How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making these delicious bagels! Here’s how to make bagels with Greek yogurt:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to make cinnamon bagels, add 2 tsp of cinnamon here!
3. Stir in the Greek yogurt using a spatula until a dough forms. Then, knead it together with your hands until it’s nice and smooth.
4. Lightly flour a work surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, slightly flatten, and create a hole in the center using a spoon handle or by rolling into a log and connecting the ends.
5. Whisk the egg and brush each bagel with it. Sprinkle with your preferred toppings—everything bagel seasoning is a personal favorite!
6. Arrange the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown on top.
7. Let them cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
