2 Ingredient Bagels

These 2 Ingredient Bagels are one of my favorite ways to make bakery-style bagels at home without dealing with yeast, boiling water, or a complicated process.

Ingredients

Bagels:

  • 2 ¼ cups self-rising flour plus extra for dusting
  • 2 cups whole milk plain Greek yogurt
  • OPTIONAL: Egg wash 1 beaten egg + 1 Tablespoon water

Optional Toppings:

  • Everything Bagel seasoning
  • Sesame seeds
  • Poppy seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and the Greek yogurt using a sturdy spatula until a shaggy dough forms.

  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead it by hand for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Avoid adding too much extra flour during this stage, as it can make the bagels dense.

  • Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.

  • Roll each ball into a long rope (about 4 to 6 inches) and join the ends to form a circle, or poke a hole through the center of the ball and stretch it into a bagel shape. Ensure the center hole is at least 1 inch wide, as it will shrink significantly during baking.

  • Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.

  • (optional) Brush the tops of each bagel generously with the beaten egg wash, if desired. If using, sprinkle with your choice of seasonings. I used Everything Bagel Seasoning, sesame seeds and poppy seeds.

  • Bake for 20 minutes. Leaving the bagels in the oven, turn the oven up to 500 degrees F and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
