Greek Yogurt Bagels Seasoned (Printable Version)

Soft bagels made using Greek yogurt and topped with savory everything seasoning for a flavorful start.

# Ingredient List:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or full fat
02 - 1 cup self-rising flour
03 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Egg Wash

04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 tablespoon water

→ Topping

06 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning blend

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and salt. Mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.
04 - Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 7-inch rope, then pinch ends together to form a bagel shape.
05 - Place shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water. Brush each bagel with the egg wash mixture.
07 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously on top of each bagel.
08 - Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
09 - Allow bagels to cool slightly before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in 40 minutes flat, which means bagels for breakfast without the 5 a.m. bakery run.
  • The Greek yogurt keeps them impossibly soft inside while the everything seasoning makes every bite feel intentional.
  • You only need five ingredients for the dough—no special equipment or confusing techniques required.
02 -
  • The first time I made these, I over-kneaded the dough thinking I was doing it wrong, and they turned out dense and tough—the point is to be gentle, just enough to bring everything together.
  • Check your self-rising flour's ingredients before using because some brands include dairy, which matters if you're cooking for anyone with allergies.
03 -
  • Don't stress about the bagel shape being perfectly round—homemade bagels have rustic charm, and slight imperfections are proof they're real.
  • If your self-rising flour doesn't have enough leavening, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder to ensure your bagels rise properly in the oven.
