Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Greek Yogurt Bagels

  • Combine dry ingredients: sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon active dry yeast.
  • Add wet ingredients: pour in ¾ cup of warm water, ½ cup Greek yogurt, and drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Knead the dough: knead in the bowl for 2-3 minutes until it becomes a shaggy mass.
  • Transfer and knead further: knead on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise: shape into a ball, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Shape the bagels: punch down the dough, divide into 6 portions, and shape each into a bagel.
  • Boil the bagels: preheat oven to 375°F, boil in water for 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Prepare for baking: place on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
  • Bake to perfection: bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool and serve: let cool on a rack before serving with your favorite toppings.
