Easy Everything Greek Yogurt Bagels
These bagels are the prefect compliment to a cup of morning coffee or tea. Make a batch of bagels to be eaten right away or freeze to use for breakfast sandwiches later. Such an easy and yummy way to start the day.
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 1/2 Cups Greek Yogurt
- 1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Egg Wash
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Water
Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Minced Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Onion Flakes
- 1 Tablespoon Sea Salt
- 2 teaspoons Black Sesame Seeds
- 2 teaspoons Poppy Seeds
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F.
- Place parchment paper on the sheet pan and spray with non-stick spray.
- Sift the all-purpose flour into a medium sized bowl. Whisk in the baking powder and salt into your flour. Make a well in the center of your flour mixture.
- Measure out your greek yogurt- see notes. Add greek yogurt to the flour mixture and, using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir to combine.
- Once most of the flour has been incorperated into your dough ball, switch to using your clean hands and start to knead your dough. Knead your dough on a lightly floured surface for about 45 seconds until dough is firm. If dough is still sticky, add more flour and knead to incorperate. Roll into a large ball.
- Using a knife or bench scrapper cut your dough into six even pieces and roll each individual piece into a ball. Using your pointer finger, dip your finger into some flour and poke a hole through the dough ball. Use both of your hands widen the hole. Do this with all six of your dough balls.
- Once you have done this to all of your dough balls, place them onto the prepared sheet pan. Place a kitchen towel over them and let them rest for a half and hour.
- Mix together the egg and the water to create your egg wash. Brush egg wash over the top of your bagels. If you want plain bagels, leave them like this. If you want everything bagels, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning. See notes.
- Bake bagels at 350°F for 20 minutes. Rotate pan. Bake for another 20 minutes. Turn up the heat of your oven to 400°F and bake for an additional 5 to 10 mintutes until your bagels are golden brown.
Notes
For everything bagel seasoning: Mix the sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried onion flakes, sea salt, black sesame seeds and poppy seeds together in small bowl until combined.
Greek Yogurt: If there is liquid on the top of your greek yogurt when you open the container don't mix it in! Drain it out and then measure the yogurt.
Bagel Toppings: I love everything bagels but sometimes other flavors are good too! After brushing with egg wash, sprinkle some cheese on top or maybe some poppy seeds. Be creative!
Freezing and storing: I like to eat these babies right out of the oven. But if you need to store them, they will keep for about a day in an air-tight container. If you need to store them longer than that I would suggest freezing them. Wrap them individually in cling wrap twice and freeze. They will freeze up to three months. When you want a bagel or want to make breakfast sandwiches, take out and let them come to room temp before cutting and toasting.
