Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour (do not substitute with all-purpose flour)
2 cups Greek yogurt (2% works best, such as Fage)
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
Optional toppings: melted butter, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, dried onion flakes, mini chocolate chips, etc.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the self-rising flour on a clean countertop or cutting board, forming a mound.
Add the Greek yogurt into the center of the flour.
Using your hands, gradually mix the flour into the yogurt, kneading until a dough forms.
Continue kneading until the dough becomes smooth, slightly elastic, and no longer sticky.
Shape the dough into a ball and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a log and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
Place the bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
(Optional) Brush with egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes.
Increase oven temperature to 500°F (260°C) and bake for an additional 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
(Optional) After the first bake, brush with melted butter and add desired toppings before the final bake.

Notes

Dough may feel sticky at first—keep kneading and lightly dust with flour if needed.
Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture; thinner yogurt can make the dough too wet.
These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
You can make sweet or savory variations depending on toppings.
