Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. If making cinnamon bagels, add 2 tsp cinnamon.
  3. Stir in Greek yogurt using a spatula until the dough forms, then knead with your hands until cohesive. Do not overmix.
  4. Lightly flour a work surface. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  5. Slightly flatten each ball and create a hole in the center with your finger, stretching gently to form a bagel shape.
  6. Place bagels on the prepared sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with toppings of your choice.
  7. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  1. For best results, use thick Greek yogurt. Let the bagels cool before slicing to avoid squishing the soft interior.
