Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Flour and Yogurt: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix 1 cup of self-rising flour with 1 cup of Greek yogurt until a dough begins to form.
- Add Egg: Crack 1 large egg into the mixture and thoroughly mix it in until the dough is smooth and cohesive.
- Knead Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface or use a silicone baking mat, then turn the dough out and gently knead it for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, roll each into a ball, flatten slightly into discs, and create a hole in the center to form bagel shapes.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the bagels on the lined baking sheet, spaced apart, and optionally brush the tops with water or an egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the bagels turn golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Using self-rising flour eliminates the need for added leavening agents.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture, contributing to a soft texture.
- Optional egg wash creates a glossy, golden crust.
- Bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, warm lightly in the oven or toaster oven.
