Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or use regular flour with baking powder if you don’t have self-rising flour)
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir them together using a spoon or spatula until a dough forms. The mixture should come together fairly easily, but if it’s too sticky, you can add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water or more yogurt to help it come together.
- Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You don’t need to over-knead, just enough to incorporate everything into a cohesive dough.
- Shape the Bagels:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions (or more if you want smaller bagels). Roll each portion into a ball and then poke a hole in the center with your finger to form the bagel shape. Gently stretch the dough into a round shape, making the hole large enough to give it the classic bagel look.
- Bake the Bagels:
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the bagels cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy them as-is, or toast them and add your favorite topping like cream cheese, avocado, or smoked salmon.
