Making bagels at home can often seem like a long, complicated process, but this easy 3-ingredient bagel recipe completely changes that. Using Greek yogurt not only adds a nice tangy flavor but also boosts the protein content, making these bagels a nutritious choice. I have found that using all-purpose flour combined with Greek yogurt and a bit of baking powder creates a dough that's surprisingly easy to work with and rises well without the need for yeast or long fermentation. A tip I learned is to optionally add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor balance, and brushing the bagels with an egg wash before baking gives them a beautiful, shiny golden crust. They bake quickly in about 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C), which is perfect for a fast breakfast or snack option when you’re short on time. Additionally, these bagels can be customized by adding toppings like sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning before baking to add texture and savory notes. Not only are they tasty fresh out of the oven, but they also toast well and can be used for sandwiches or enjoyed as is. This recipe has been my go-to for a high-protein, homemade bagel fix without needing any special ingredients or equipment.
