This basic 2-ingredient dough recipe is perfect for not only bagels, but pizza crusts, pretzels, breadsticks, and more!
These bagels have lower carbs and higher protein, thanks to the Greek yogurt. They also contain less sodium and less fat, with no added sugars, preservatives, you can even make them organic
Greek yogurt and self-rising flour is all you need to make fresh, homemade, healthy bagels from scratch! These have no yeast and don't even need a mixer to make them. The best part is, you can easily make them gluten-free, if needed!
Self rising flour is what is going to make the dough rise in the oven, for fluffy bagels. If you don’t have self rising flour, you can easily make your own using all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt (recipe below).
You can customize these to make any flavor you like. My kids loved these, especially the sprinkle version. They aren’t as chewy as a traditional bagel, but are a great and easy alternative!
Why Picky Eaters Love These Bagels:
Familiar Flavors: Picky eaters often stick to what's familiar. These bagels have a comforting taste that most kids adore, while the Greek yogurt in this recipe adds protein, essential for growing bodies. Add sprinkles, and they are sure to be a hit!
Endless Variations: You can customize these bagels with your child's favorite toppings, making them feel like they have a say in their meal.
Unlike store-bought bagels, you control the sugar content in these, and there's no preservatives or flavorings, so they are as healthy as the flour and yogurt you use to make them, which is why I always use an Organic Greek yogurt with no stabilizers, flavors or extra ingredients in it.
Commonly Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
A: Yes, you can. Just add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of all-purpose flour.
Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
A: YES! You can use a gluten-free flour blend, like Bob's Red Mill GF 1 to 1 baking flour and follow the instructions in the recipe for adding baking powder and salt for making it self-rising, so it puffs up when baking.
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: As long as you are using a thick Greek yogurt, that is not thin or liquidy, it should work fine. Natural or "Greek-style" yogurts will make the dough too wet and sticky to work with.
Experiment with toppings like sesame seeds, cinnamon and sugar, chopped jalapeño, or whatever your family will enjoy.
You can easily double or triple this recipe to make more and keep them in the freezer for an easy breakfast to grab, heat and enjoy. You can also half or quarter it to make just 1 or 2 fresh homemade bagels in minute!
