Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups thick Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% works best)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it generously with non-stick cooking spray. This ensures your bagels lift off easily once they are baked to perfection.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Use a sturdy spatula to fold the mixture together until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth. Do not overwork the dough, or the bagels will become tough.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each piece into a thick rope about 7 inches long, then join the ends together to form a circle, pinching the seam tightly to seal. Place each bagel on the prepared sheet pan, leaving at least two inches of space between them to allow for expansion.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top and sides of each bagel generously with the egg wash. Immediately sprinkle a thick layer of everything bagel seasoning over the tops. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the bagels are high, firm, and golden brown. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before slicing.
