# What You’ll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in 40 minutes flat, which means you can satisfy a bagel craving without the 24-hour fermentation commitment.
  • Each bagel packs 10 grams of protein thanks to Greek yogurt, making this feel like a legitimate meal instead of empty carbs.
  • The everything seasoning gets toasty and fragrant in the oven, filling your kitchen with that bakery-style aroma.
02 -
  • If your dough feels too wet after mixing, resist the urge to add more flour immediately—Greek yogurt varies in thickness, so sometimes it just needs to rest for a minute.
  • These bagels don't get a boiling bath like traditional ones, which is why they're faster, but it also means the crust won't be quite as chewy; they're more like tender bagel-shaped buns, and honestly, most people prefer it.
03 -
  • Make a double batch and freeze the unbaked bagels on a sheet tray, then bake from frozen adding 3 to 4 minutes to the time; this way you always have fresh bagels on demand.
  • Toast the everything seasoning in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before sprinkling it on the egg wash—it wakes up the flavors and makes them taste restaurant-quality.
