Ingredients

Exact measurements are listed below in the recipe card. Make sure you scroll down to print and save the recipe for later!

• Self-rising flour - you'll need extra flour for kneading, so keep the flour canister nearby.
• Greek Yogurt
• Egg Wash - you don't need to brush with an egg wash if you're just making them plain. But I like the look the egg wash gives to the bagels.

Toppings for Bagels

I love these 2 ingredient bagels plain, however, my husband prefers them with salt. Another fun option is to use the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning blend that is so very popular these days.

If you choose to use toppings, you'll need a beaten egg to brush on top of the bagels as well as your favorite toppings:

• Kosher Salt
• Sesame Seeds
• Everything but the Bagel Seasoning

Directions

Step 1: Combine the Flour and Yogurt

In a bowl, combine the flour and yogurt together. Turn it out onto a flour board or a piece of parchment paper. I found the parchment baking sheets to work better.

The dough is very sticky, so make sure you flour your hands while kneading the dough together for about 5 minutes or until it's smooth and no longer sticky.

The dough will not be like a traditional bread dough. It will still be a little tacky. Form the dough into a round and then proceed to cut the dough in half and then in half again until you have four even pieces.

Step 2: How to shape the dough

Shape each piece of dough into a long log about 4 to 6 inches long. Then make a circle pinching the ends together forming the bagel shape.

Step 3: Brush with Egg Wash

Place each bagel on a baking sheet that's been lined with either Parchment Baking Sheets or a Silpat baking mat.

Prepare the egg wash by beating together the egg with one teaspoon of water. Brush on top of each bagel and then add the preferred seasonings. These bagels below are plain, sesame and kosher salt.

Step 4: Add the Bagel Seasonings

These bagels were brushed with an egg wash and then sprinkled with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning Mix. My family loved these!

Step 5: Baking Instructions

Bake the bagels in a preheated 350 degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Tips for Making 2 Ingredient Dough

You can make this dough and then refrigerate it for up to two days before forming the dough into bagels. You'll need to let it come to room temperture first before attempting to form the dough.

This 2 ingredient dough can also be used to make bread sticks, pizza dough, flatbread; even pretzel bites!

Can you use regular yogurt?

No. You have to use Greek yogurt to make this dough or the dough won't be thick enough to form into bagels. Any percentage of fat works but it has to be Greek yogurt.

How do you make self rising flour?

Here's a little secret. I never purchased self-rising flour before making these 2 ingredient bagels. So what happens if you want to bake these bagels but don't have any self-rising flour in your pantry?

It's easy to make your own self-rising flour at home simply by combining the following ingredients in a bowl:

• 1 cup of plain flour
• 2 tsps. baking powder

Air Fryer Bagels

You can make the bagels in an air fryer instead of the oven. Prepare as directed above and instead of baking in the oven, place the bagels in a preheated 300 degree air fryer for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
