Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- Sift the self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and add the Greek yogurt. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir until the mixture begins to come together. The dough will initially look shaggy and feel somewhat sticky.
- If the dough is too dry to come together, add a little additional Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough reaches a workable consistency.
- Knead for approximately 7 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and cohesive.
- Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Using a dough cutter or bench scraper, divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a ball, then create a hole through the center. Gently stretch the opening to form a bagel shape. Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
- For a more golden finish, brush each bagel with the optional egg wash. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if desired.
- Bake at 375°F for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or toasted with your favorite toppings.

Notes
This recipe requires only two ingredients for the dough: self-rising flour and Greek yogurt.
The egg wash and everything bagel seasoning are completely optional.
If your dough feels too dry, add additional Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time rather than adding a large amount at once. Depending on the flour and Greek yogurt you use, you may not need any extra at all. A little stickiness in the beginning is normal.
Avoid adding too much additional flour while kneading, which can make the finished bagels dry and dense.
