Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

It’s best to stick with Greek yogurt because it’s thicker and produces a sturdier dough.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and check the baking powder is gluten-free.

How do I store leftover bagels?

You can refrigerate them for up to five days or freeze them for up to three months.

What toppings work best?

Try everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or cinnamon sugar, depending on your flavor preference.

How can I make my bagels even softer?

Let them cool completely before storing, and avoid overbaking. Because overbaking dries them out, watch them closely near the end of the baking time.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms. If too sticky, add a little flour; if too dry, add a spoonful of yogurt.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and divide into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope and form into a ring, pinching ends together.
Place bagels on the tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with desired toppings.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Avoid overmixing to keep bagels soft. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, refrigerate for 5, or freeze for up to 3 months. Try cinnamon sugar for sweet, cheesy herb for savory, or everything seasoning for a classic flavor.
