Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon light butter optional, melted for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds optional; see notes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 cup self-rising flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir until a thick dough forms.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it; shape into a smooth ball with your hands.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions for large bagels (or 12 for small). Roll each portion into a log, then join the ends to form a ring-shaped bagel.
  • Place the formed bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted light butter, if using, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sesame seeds or other desired toppings.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the bagels are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • You can use dairy-free butter, almond milk, egg white, or cooking spray instead of melted butter.
  • Store bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • To freeze, place cooled, uncut bagels in a freezer bag for up to six months.
