Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (170 grams) non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups (157 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Optional Toppings:
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Sesame seeds
- Brown sugar
- Onion flakes
- Garlic flakes
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with lightly oiled parchment paper to prevent dough adhesion.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform powder mixture.
- Introduce Greek yogurt and egg yolks into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a fork until a crumbly texture emerges.
- Transfer the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead approximately 15-20 times, developing a smooth and slightly tacky consistency.
- Portion the dough into four equal segments, then roll each piece into a three-quarter-inch thick cylindrical shape.
- Form each rope into a circular bagel shape by connecting the ends or creating a central hole by stretching the dough.
- Delicately coat the bagel surfaces with egg whites, optionally sprinkling desired seasonings across the tops.
- Position the baking sheet on the top oven rack and bake for 25 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Allow bagels to rest and cool completely for at least 15 minutes before slicing to maintain structural integrity.
- Alternative cooking method: Air fry at 280°F for 15-16 minutes until achieving a uniform golden color.
Notes
- Flour Flexibility: Use whole wheat or gluten-free flour blends to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising texture.
- Protein Power Boost: Experiment with additional protein sources like whey protein powder or almond flour to increase nutritional value.
- Seasoning Variations: Try everything bagel seasoning, za’atar, or dried herbs to create unique flavor profiles and elevate the basic recipe.
