Creating Fluffy & Healthy Greek Yogurt Bagels is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt and honey (if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead Dough: Lightly flour a surface and transfer the dough to it. Knead for about 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth.
5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
6. Prepare for Baking: Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush it over each bagel for a golden finish.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or seasoning on top of the bagels.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack.
