Ingredients
Scale
Bagel Dough
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Flour and Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of Greek yogurt.
- Form Dough Base: Stir together the flour and yogurt using a spoon or spatula until the mixture starts forming a dough.
- Add Egg: Crack 1 large egg into the dough mixture.
- Incorporate Egg: Mix the egg thoroughly into the dough until the mixture is evenly combined and forms a soft dough.
- Prepare Work Surface: Lightly flour a clean surface or place a silicone baking mat down to keep the dough from sticking.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto the surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes just until smooth and cohesive.
- Divide Dough: Split the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- Shape Bagels: Flatten each dough ball slightly into a disc, then create a hole in the center of each with your fingers to form the bagel shape.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the shaped bagels to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart adequately.
- Optional Glaze: Brush the tops with a little water or an egg wash for a golden finish if desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the bagels turn golden brown on the top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use self-rising flour which already contains baking powder and salt for best results.
- You can brush the bagels with egg wash (a beaten egg) for a shiny golden crust.
- For variation, add herbs or spices to the dough before baking.
- Enjoy these bagels fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat bagels briefly in the oven or toaster for a fresh-baked taste.
