2 Ingredient Bagels

Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle

Traditional homemade bagels are delicious, but incredibly time consuming to make with yeast, proofing, and boiling in water before baking! These 2 ingredient bagels are just as tasty, but so much simpler and ready in 40 minutes.

Bagels are so versatile, you can serve them for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. For more tempting breakfast ideas, take a look at our sausage breakfast casserole or these genius sheet pan pancakes.

INGREDIENTS for 2 ingredient bagels

You will need:

• 2 cups of self-rising flour, do not substitute for all-purpose flour
• 2 cups of Greek yogurt, I use 2% Fage
• Optional: egg wash, 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
• Optional: melted butter, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything but the bagel seasoning, dried onion flakes, mini chocolate chips, etc.

SUBSTITUTIONS and ADDITIONS

Self-Rising Flour: If you only have all-purpose flour, then you can convert it to self-rising by mixing it with three teaspoons of baking powder and a half teaspoon of salt. 

Greek Yogurt: We use 2% fat Greek yogurt for this recipe, but to make the Weight Watchers version of these 2 ingredient bagels you should use fat-free Greek yogurt. A vegan Greek yogurt would also work if you prefer to avoid dairy.

Egg White: To give your bagels a bakery feel, consider brushing the tops with a beaten egg white before baking.

Seasonings: To these plain bagels, you can add any toppings you like such as ‘Everything But The Bagel Seasoning’, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, mini chocolate chips, or grated cheese.

HOW TO MAKE THIS 2 INGREDIENT BAGELs RECIPE

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

STEP TWO: Pour the flour into a mound on a cutting board or the clean countertop. Make a well in the center of the flour and scoop the yogurt into it.

STEP THREE: Use your hands to scoop flour from the outside into the center and knead together until it forms a dough. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth, stretchy, and no longer sticky.

PRO TIP: If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

STEP FOUR: Slice the ball of dough into eight equally-sized pieces.

STEP FIVE: Roll each piece of dough into a log and loop the two ends together to make a bagel shape. Place the bagels onto the lined baking sheet.

PRO TIP: To give your bagels a professional look, consider brushing them with egg white before baking.

STEP SIX: Bake for 15 minutes. Then, turn the oven temperature up to 500°F and bake for three to five minutes more, until they are browned on top.

PRO TIP: If you’re adding seasoning to your bagels, add them before the second bake and use a little melted butter to help them stick if necessary.

STORAGE

AT ROOM TEMPERATURE: 2 ingredient bagels made with Greek yogurt can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze 2 ingredient bagels for up to three months. Wrap each bagel tightly with foil and place them in a freezer bag. Defrost before slicing and toasting.

Homemade 2 ingredient dough bagels are so easy to make, especially when compared to traditional bagels. You can top your bagels with so many different things, but our favorite has to be cream cheese and lox.
