Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt alternative)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture forms a dough. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add a little more flour.
  3. Step 3: Knead the dough gently with your hands until smooth, then form it into a large ball.
  4. Step 4: Break the dough ball into smaller pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel by rolling it into a ball and poking a hole in the center with your finger.
  5. Step 5: Place the shaped bagels on your prepared baking sheet spaced apart.
  6. Step 6: Bake on the center rack for about 20 minutes, or until the bagels are cooked through and lightly golden.

Tips & Variations

  • Make your own self-rising flour by mixing 1 cup all-purpose or spelt flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Try adding herbs, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Use vegan yogurt to keep the bagels dairy-free and suitable for plant-based diets.

Storage

Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the bagels in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, toast or warm in the oven until heated through.

FAQs

Can I use plain all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?

You can, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to create self-rising flour. Use 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt mixed together as a substitute.

What if my dough is too sticky to handle?

If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, while kneading until it becomes manageable but still soft.
