This Greek Yogurt Bagels ingredient list is SHORT but mighty! You only need a handful of power ingredients to get them and keep the flavor popping.

The secret to epic Greek Yogurt Bagels is using good-quality self-rising flour instead of regular flour + yeast. This switch makes the process fast and foolproof. Pick a Greek yogurt that’s thick and creamy; it sets the structure and flavor. I always splurge on Greek yogurt from local dairies when possible—it makes a legit difference.

If you’re on a budget, you can use store-brand plain Greek yogurt and still get healthy bagels that satisfy. For an added twist, try mixing in grated zucchini or whole wheat flour for subtle flavor boosts. And remember, store your Greek yogurt bagels ingredients fresh: keep flour in a cool, dry place to maintain rise power and the yogurt chilled for optimal consistency.

This ingredient combo will have you wondering where these bagels have been all your life.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Don’t skip this—your Greek Yogurt Bagels need the perfect hot environment for that crispy crust.

2. Mix dry ingredients in a big bowl: Combine 2 cups self-rising flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This is where your structure begins.

3. Add the 1 cup Greek yogurt + 1 tsp honey. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t stress—your Greek Yogurt Bagels dough will be a bit sticky but manageable.

4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead gently for 5-7 minutes. Pro tip for Greek Yogurt Bagels perfection: less kneading means softer bagels; more kneading yields chewier bites. I find 6 minutes hits the sweet spot.

5. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each into a ball, then flatten and poke a hole in the middle with your finger, stretching it to form bagel shapes.

6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle your choice of sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning to step up the flavor.

7. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Your Greek Yogurt Bagels should look golden brown, smell slightly tangy, and have a firm crust with a soft interior.

This is where your Greek Yogurt Bagels transform into pure magic. While they bake, your kitchen will smell like a bakery fueled by tang and wholesome goodness. Don’t peek too early, or you’ll lose that perfect rise!

Get creative here—some days I add chopped rosemary or garlic powder to the dough for a savory punch. This yogurt bagel recipe takes no prisoners when it comes to bold flavor!

People absolutely lose their minds when I serve this Greek Yogurt Bagels at brunch or casual gatherings. The first step? Slice them warm and toast lightly for max crunch.

For a cream cheese topping explosion, spread on a whipped blend of Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and fresh herbs like dill or chives. It hits that creamy-savory mark straight to the flavor nerve.

Pair these Greek Yogurt Bagels with spicy smoked salmon, sliced tomatoes, and capers for an Instagram-worthy tower of flavor that screams celebration-worthy meals. Quick bagel bake doesn’t mean boring food!

They shine best for weekend breakfasts but will also rock your weeknight meal lineup—you’ll see why from countless taste-test reactions. Leftovers? Freeze and toast them the next day for another round of bagel bliss or transform them into croutons for salads. Talk about multitasking!

In cooler months, I swap toppings for cinnamon sugar and add a drizzle of honey for a sweet spin on the Greek Yogurt Bagels. It’s a hit with my crew and makes good use of pantry staples.
