Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or strained)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for sweet version)
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (for sweet version)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (for savory style)
  • Shredded cheese (for savory style)
  • Nuts or seeds (to customize)
  • Almond or oat flour (gluten-free substitute for whole wheat flour)
  • Coconut flour and protein powder (for keto-friendly variant)
  • Silken tofu and flax eggs (vegan substitution for yogurt and eggs)

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. This forms the moist base that keeps your bagels tender and protein-rich.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and a perfect rise.
  3. Form the Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mix, stirring gently until a thick dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep your bagels soft and airy.
  4. Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Poke a hole through the center of each ball with your finger and gently stretch it to create the classic bagel shape.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the formed bagels on a lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt, preferably full-fat or strained, for best texture and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid dense or tough bagels.
  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking for consistent results.
  • For enhanced flavor and presentation, add toppings like seeds or spices before baking.
  • Allow bagels to cool completely on a rack before slicing to prevent gummy texture.
