Welcome to My Kitchen! You can make these soft, chewy Greek yogurt bagels with just three simple ingredients. They require no yeast and no boiling, making them a fast, high-protein option perfect for your busy mornings or meal prep. Bake them in the oven or use your air fryer for a quick, delicious homemade bagel fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat works best)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional toppings: Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or coarse salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line the basket.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix them together with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and less sticky. You may need to add a tiny bit more flour if the dough is too wet to handle.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long.
  5. Form each rope into a circle by pinching the ends together firmly to seal. This creates your bagel shape.
  6. Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of each bagel generously with the egg wash.
  8. Sprinkle your desired toppings, like everything bagel seasoning, over the egg-washed tops.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown. If using an air fryer, bake for 12 to 15 minutes, checking halfway through to prevent over-browning.
  10. Remove the bagels from the oven or air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • For a slightly chewier exterior, you can briefly dip the shaped bagels in water before applying the egg wash and toppings.
  • These bagels are excellent for meal prep. Store cooled bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
