Two-Ingredient Bagels

If there’s one staple dish at your Yom Kippur break fast or Shabbat brunch, it’s bagels. Now, I can argue the difference between a New York and Montreal style bagel, but being a proud Canadian, I’ll go to bat in defense of the perfectly chewy, slightly sweet, woodfired Montreal bagel if you pit it against a NY bagel.

If you’ve ever left the bagel shop unimpressed (like I have), make these simple two-ingredient bagels—the best way to get bagels onto your plate in under an hour!

Ingredients for 6 bagels

1 1/2 cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting 

1 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat)

Optional

1 egg, whisked with 1 Tbsp. water 

Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and/or everything bagel seasoning  

  • Preparation Time
    20 minutes
  • Cooking Time
    25 minutes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 
  1. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, spray with cooking spray. 
  1. Combine flour and yogurt in the base of a stand mixer (or use a large bowl). 
  1. Using the dough hook, knead until the dough is no longer sticky and can form into a ball. If doing by hand, knead in a large bowl. 
  1. Transfer the dough to a floured surface. 
  1. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Roll each ball into a 3/4-inch rope, pinching the ends to seal into a bagel shape. 
  1. Transfer to the baking tray, and brush with egg and seeds (optional). 
  1. Bake for 20-22 minutes. 
  1. Remove from the oven.  
  1. Heat the oven to 450°F. 
  1. Place the bagels back in the oven, and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until golden. 
  1. Enjoy!
