Steps
PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
MIX: In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients until mixed. Then add the greek yogurt and mix together until a dough forms. You might want to use your hands to make this easier!
DIVIDE: Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Divide it out into 6 equal pieces. If the dough is sticky dust with flour, I didn’t need to.
ROLL: out the dough into a thick rope, about 7-8 inches in length. Join the ends and gently press. Place your hand through the hole gently roll the joining part on the counter so that the ends fuse. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and let sit for 5-10 minutes if possible. This allows the bagels to puff up more.
BRUSH AND SPRINKLE: On a clean plate, place one bagel, brush with the beaten egg white. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning. Place the bagel on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining bagels.
BAKE: Place the pan in the oven and bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or golden brown on top. Remove the bagels to a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes or until cooled so you can slice them. Toast if desired and spread with cream cheese. Store leftover bagels in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Holly F. on 2026-05-22 (5 stars): These are absolutely perfect. I love them beod the protein of course! I have made them twice (in just a week .. my gram loves them too)
The 2nd time I did them the dough seems to get warm and sticky pretty quick.
Do you think putting them in the fridge for like 30min to an hour would help?
Angie on 2026-03-13 (5 stars): Love this recipe!

izzy on 2025-11-24 (5 stars): I make these every week
Patty on 2025-10-02 (5 stars): This was my first time making bagels. I have to say, these were very easy to make and definitely worth trying. The only issue I have is trying not to eat them all. I will keep this recipe to make again in the near future.
Make them! You won’t be disappointed.
Sonia on 2025-06-10 (5 stars): Just made these and turned out amazing! I used oat flour and in half the mixture I added cinnamon and raw sugar for a sweet batch. The other half I topped with Italian spice mix instead of everything bagel! Will be great with cream cheese and topped with tomato. Thanks for sharing such a simple recipe that’s delish!
Caitie on 2025-05-28 (3 stars): Tried these a few times and they always turn out very sticky so there is some measurement tweaking involved. I’ve managed to get it pretty close and I add onion, garlic, and green chiles, then top with cheese. Very good.
Tina Pollock on 2025-04-23 (5 stars): I made it with almond flour. Not sure if the measurements are the same? It seemed doughy. Suggestions. They are good just a bit doughy.
Roxanne on 2025-04-22 (4 stars): These turned out so good! I boiled mine to get that traditional chewy bagel texture. I'll probably be making these every week now! :)
