Equipment

  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

Bagel Dough Recipe

  • 200 g bread flour
  • 150 g greek yogurt
  • 50 g sour cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Egg Wash

  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well, then add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and sour cream. Stir until a dough forms. Knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth.
  • Cover the dough with cling film (plastic wrap) and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour a surface and divide it into 4 equal portions (or 6, to make 6 mini bagels) and shape each into a bagel.
  • Brush each bagel with egg wash and sprinkle with your favourite toppings. (I love using everything bagel seasoning—recipe below if you don’t have any!)
  • Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let the bagels cool before slicing. Serve with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or just a smear of butter.

Notes

💡 Use real Greek yogurt – Not Greek-style yogurt, as it has a different consistency.
💡 Rest the dough – Helps make the bagels softer and chewier.
💡 Add sour cream – Keeps the bagels moist and fresh for days.
💡 Experiment with flavors – Try cinnamon & raisins for a sweet version or garlic & herbs for a savory twist.
