How to Make Bagels With Greek Yogurt

The secret to making healthy Greek yogurt bagels is combining self-rising flour with Greek yogurt. The dough becomes incredibly soft and easy to shape — no yeast, no waiting, no kneading!

Once shaped, brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle on your favorite toppings such as sesame, poppy seeds, or even garlic and onion seasoning for a Garlic Onion Protein Bagel flavor. Bake until golden brown and enjoy your freshly made bagel Greek yogurt recipe that’s wholesome, fluffy, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder and onion powder for flavor
• Optional toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, oats, or sunflower seeds

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix with a spoon, then knead gently with your hands until a soft dough forms.
3. Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a rope and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
4. Add flavor: Sprinkle the tops with garlic powder and onion powder for a savory Garlic Onion Protein Bagel version.
5. Brush and top: Beat the egg and brush lightly over each bagel. Add your favorite toppings like sesame or everything bagel seasoning.
6. Bake: Place bagels on the lined tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and fluffy.
7. Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

How to Serve

Enjoy these healthy Greek yogurt bagels warm from the oven or toasted the next day.

• Breakfast: Spread with cream cheese, peanut butter, or Greek yogurt for a protein-packed start.
• Lunch: Make a sandwich with smoked salmon, turkey, or eggs.
• Snack: Slice and top with avocado for a quick, healthy bite.

These bagels also pair beautifully with smoothies or fruit bowls, making them ideal for balanced, healthy whole grain recipes and meal prep.

Tips for Perfect Bagels

• Use thick Greek yogurt for best results — watery yogurt will make the dough sticky.
• Add whole-wheat flour for extra fiber and texture.
• For sweet bagels, skip the garlic/onion and add cinnamon and honey instead.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

FAQs

Q: Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising?
Yes, just mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

Q: Can I make these without an egg wash?
Yes — simply brush with milk or olive oil for a golden finish.

Q: Are these bagels high in protein?
Absolutely! Thanks to the Greek yogurt, each bagel packs around 10–12g of protein, making them ideal for protein bagel recipes.
