Did you know that you can make bagels with just 2 ingredients? You only need flour and Greek yogurt to make these 2 ingredient bagels from scratch. There is no need for yeast, so that these Greek yogurt bagels come together in just 30 minutes!
Everyone went crazy for my yogurt pizza, myself included. So I decided to use the same recipe and make 2 ingredient bagels with Greek yogurt.
Why we love bagels
If there is one think about me is that I love bagels. Soft and so fluffy, they go well with both sweet and savory toppings. Literally anything tastes delicious in a bagel. But for me bagels mean something more than just taste.
Bagels take me back in time, to what was probably one of the best experiences of my entire life. The first time I tried bagels was in 2018, when I was visiting New York. It was a sunny morning and I was about to have breakfast when some freshly baked bagels caught my attention. Needless to say, I grabbed and enjoyed one with peanut butter and banana on top.
Greek yogurt bagels without yeast
Craving a taste of New York, I made these 2 ingredient bagels without yeast. Embarrassingly soft and fluffy, these Greek yogurt bagels are also healthy and rich in protein.
What is more, this 2 ingredient bagel recipe is so quick and easy to make. It comes together in just 30 minutes and does not require any yeast. Served with your favorite toppings, these Greek yogurt bagels taste like bakery goods. But homemade!
2 ingredient bagel ingredients
You only need two ingredients to make bagels at home, no yeast required! On the top of the main ingredients you can flavor the dough with a pinch of salt and sprinkle some seeds on top.
Here is everything this yeast-free bagel recipe calls for:
- Self raising flour
- Greek yogurt
My usual Greek yogurt is already pretty sapid, so that I don’t have to add any salt. But if your yogurt is quite tasteless, you may need to add some salt into the dough.
How to replace self raising flour
If you don’t have or can’t find it, you can easily make your own self raising flour at home. All you need to do is combining all purposes flour with baking powder. For this recipe you will need about 2 teaspoons of baking powder and you are ready to bake!
Greek yogurt isn’t Greek style yogurt!
When I say “Greek yogurt”, I mean Greek yogurt. Don’t confuse it with Greek style yogurt.
The main difference between the two is that Greek yogurt has a firm, thick texture whereas Greek style yogurt is more liquid. And as we need a thick texture, be sure to make these 2 ingredient bagels with Greek yogurt. Any liquid yogurt would make your bagel dough wet and sticky.
How to make dairy-free bagels
Good news! You can still make these 2 ingredient bagels also if you are vegan or can’t eat dairy.
All you need to do is replacing dairy Greek yogurt with plant based Greek yogurt alternatives. But as I have explained before, this recipe requires a thick yogurt. Any runny yogurt will result in a sticky dough. Therefore make sure to use vegan Greek yogurt or Skyr as a dairy replacement (my recommendations are soy Greek yogurt or Skyr).
Bagel topping ideas
If you plan to add any toppings, you will need to brush the surface of the bagels with either milk, melted butter or egg yolk. Once slightly brushed, you can sprinkle the Greek yogurt bagels with:
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Everything bagel
- Pumpkin seeds
- Mix of seeds
- Kosher salt
How to make Greek yogurt bagels
In a large bowl combine flour, Greek Yogurt and salt if it is necessary. Quickly stir until it comes to form a dough (add more flour if it is sticky or more Greek yogurt if the dough is too dry).
Transfer Greek yogurt bagels dough over a clean floured surface and knead to form a soft dough. Divide the dough into 4 equal size pieces.
One at a time, roll each piece of dough into a log about 15 cm (6 inches) long. Shape the log into a ring and transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Brush the top of each bagel with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds (or everything seasoning).
Bake the 2 ingredient bagels in hot oven for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
How to store homemade bagels
Eat them warm or store in a food container or zipper bag. At room temperature, these Greek yogurt bagels last for up to 24 hours and in the fridge they will stay fresh for maximum of 3 days. To freeze, wrap each bagel individually and reheat in the oven before serving.
