Equipment

large mixing bowl
spoon or spatula
baking sheet
parchment paper
oven

Ingredients

1 cup self-rising flour (or all-purpose + baking powder + salt)
1 cup Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
1 egg (for egg wash)
optional toppings: everything seasoning, sesame seeds, fresh herbs

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 °F (220 °C). In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of self‑rising flour with 1 cup of thick Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese.
Stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a 6-inch rope and shape into bagels.
Brush each bagel with beaten egg or milk. Add toppings like seeds or seasoning if desired.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy fresh or freeze for later.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt or well-blended cottage cheese for the best results. To freeze, let bagels cool completely, then store airtight. Reheat by toasting or warming in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes. Top with savory or sweet favorites like smoked salmon or nut butter.
