Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour do not substitute all-purpose
2 cups Greek yogurt I used 2% Fage

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mound flour on clean countertop or cutting board.
Scoop yogurt into center of flour.
Use your hands to scoop flour from the outside into the inside of the mound, kneading it together with the yogurt until it forms a dough.
Continue kneading the dough until it has some elasticity (can be stretched) and is somewhat smooth and no longer sticky.
Form a ball with the dough and slice into 8 separate pieces.
Roll each piece into a log and loop the two ends together to form the bagels.
Place bagels on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15 minutes. Turn oven temperature up to 500°F and continue baking bagels until they are browned on top (3-5 minutes).
Optional: Brush tops and sides of bagels with an egg wash before initial baking and add toppings

Notes

Storage :

To Store: Store your bagels in an airtight container for up to 3 days, either in the fridge or at room temperature, whichever you prefer. I like to keep mine in the refrigerator because I find they keep better. And since we typically toast them before eating, the coldness doesn’t matter.
To Freeze: For longer storage, place the bagels in the freezer or up to 3 months. I love to make a big batch and freeze half a dozen for an easy breakfast option later on!
To Reheat: Reheat in the toaster or even in the air fryer.

Tips :

When you’re kneading the dough, you want it so that it can be stretched and is somewhat smooth and no longer sticky. That’s how you will know it’s ready.
If the dough seems sticky, add a little bit more flour to it.
Before Baking, you can brush the tops and sides of the bagel dough with an egg wash. Or after the bagels have baked for the first 15 minutes, you can brush them with melted butter and sprinkle them with any toppings. Proceed baking at 500°F for 3-5 minutes until the tops and/or the toppings of the bagels have browned.
The bagels will continue to cook even after they'redremoved them from the oven. Make sure you allow your bagels to cool completely before slicing and serving. Cutting into a hot bagel will result in the texture being gummy.
You can make gluten free bagels by mixing together your own gluten-free self-raising flour blend. Simply add baking powder, salt, and a binder (like xanthan gum or psyllium husk) to your favorite gluten-free flour and follow this recipe as written.
