  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Baked
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional savory fillings: cream cheese, shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, chopped spinach or herbs
  • Optional sweet fillings: cream cheese with honey or cinnamon, fruit jam or preserves, Nutella or chocolate chips
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the Greek yogurt until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2–3 minutes until smooth and soft.
  4. Divide dough into 6–8 equal portions and flatten each into a disk.
  5. Add your chosen filling to the center, wrap the dough around it, and seal the edges tightly to form a ball.
  6. Place stuffed bagels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops with beaten egg and add toppings if desired.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool for a few minutes before serving — the filling will be hot!

Notes

  • Self-rising flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • No boiling required — these are quick bagels that bake directly in the oven.
  • If using regular yogurt, strain it to remove excess liquid before mixing.
  • Seal edges well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
  • Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for a gluten-free option.
