WW 2-Ingredients Bagels: A Quick and Low-Point Treat

WW 2-Ingredients Bagels: A Quick and Low-Point Treat

If you’re craving a fresh, warm bagel but want to keep it light and low in points, these WW 2-Ingredients Bagels are the perfect solution. With just two simple ingredients—self-rising flour and non-fat Greek yogurt—these bagels come together quickly and are a great option for anyone following the Weight Watchers program. You don’t need yeast, proofing, or long rising times; these bagels are as easy as mixing, shaping, and baking. They’re soft, chewy, and can be customized with your favorite toppings for a delicious breakfast, snack, or even as a sandwich base.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (strained for thicker consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the bagels from sticking.
  2. Make the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir the mixture together until it forms a dough. The dough will be sticky, but that’s okay. If it’s too sticky to handle, you can add a little more flour until it becomes easier to shape.
  3. Shape the Bagels:
    • Lightly flour your hands or the surface where you’ll shape the dough. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions (for larger bagels) or 6 portions (for smaller bagels). Roll each portion into a ball, then use your fingers to poke a hole through the center of each ball to form a bagel shape. Gently stretch and shape the hole until it’s the desired size.
  4. Bake the Bagels:
    • Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. If you’d like, you can lightly sprinkle them with a topping of your choice, such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
    • Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

Tips:

  • Customize the Flavor: While the basic recipe is delicious on its own, you can also add flavorings to the dough, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs. For sweet bagels, try adding a little cinnamon and sweetener to the dough.
  • Toppings: If you’re a fan of classic bagel toppings, consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning before baking. You can also top them with cream cheese, avocado, or smoked salmon for a more filling meal.
  • Serving Ideas: These bagels can be eaten on their own, toasted and spread with your favorite spreads, or used as the base for a breakfast sandwich or lunch. They’re versatile and can be paired with almost anything!
