Easy Chewy 2-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Bagels Recipe For Perfect Homemade Breakfast

2-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Bagels - featured image

A quick and simple recipe for homemade bagels using just Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, resulting in chewy, golden bagels perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (360g) Greek yogurt, plain, full-fat or 2%
  • 2 cups (240g) self-rising flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add 1 ½ cups (360g) of Greek yogurt and 2 cups (240g) of self-rising flour. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture starts to come together. It will be sticky but manageable.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out. Knead gently for 3 to 4 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour, but don’t overdo it — the dough should stay slightly tacky for chewy bagels.
  4. Split the dough into 6 equal pieces (about 3 ounces/85g each). Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger and gently stretch it to form a bagel shape.
  5. Place the bagels spaced about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow for slight expansion.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown with a firm, chewy crust.
  7. Let the bagels cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use plain, full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for best texture. Avoid low-fat or watery yogurts. If you want a shiny crust, brush bagels with egg wash before baking. Do not over-flour the dough to keep bagels chewy. Let bagels cool before slicing to set texture. Bagels can be frozen after cooling for up to 3 months.
