Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups bread flour Opt for high-quality bread flour for the best chew.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder This is your leavening agent, crucial for that lovely rise!
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances the flavor of your bagels.
  • 1 cup yogurt Regular or Greek yogurt works perfectly. For dairy-free, try coconut yogurt.
  • 1 unit egg Helps bind the dough and adds a glossy finish when brushed on top.
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar Just a touch to feed the yeast and balance the flavor.
  • to taste Everything bagel seasoning Optional, use for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg with the granulated sugar until blended and set aside.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gently add the yogurt. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms (about 30 seconds).
  5. Lightly flour your work surface and turn the shaggy dough out onto it. Knead for 1-2 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  6. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a circle approximately 1/2-inch thick.
  7. Using a pastry brush, apply a generous layer of your prepared egg wash to the top of each bagel, and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 27-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store your bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
