⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Jessica, One Happy Dish reader
Greek yogurt bagels are one of my favorite easy baking recipes to make. And yes, they taste shockingly close to bakery-style bagels, minus the fuss. If you've tried my 3-ingredient PB cookies or 2-minute chocolate sauce before, it's no secret that I love, love, love a good shortcut recipe. And this easy bagel recipe is no exception.
Follow along, I'll show you how to make them!
🌿 Ingredients
As promised, only two ingredients are required for this easy bagel recipe: just self rising flour and Greek yogurt. I tested the dough with different kinds of Greek yogurt and found that whole milk Greek yogurt had the best results every time. Just make sure to look for real Greek yogurt (not "Greek style" yogurt) for this recipe.
If you'd like to add any toppings (recommended!) the only other thing you'll need besides the toppings is an egg and a little water; that'll help the toppings stick to your bagels. I almost always use everything bagel seasoning which you should be able to find at most large grocery stores. Cinnamon sugar is also great for a sweet bagel.

I love spreading cream cheese or butter on my bagel, but if you want to take things to the next level topping-wise I can't recommend this lox bagel recipe enough. Enjoy!
🍳 Recipe
2 Ingredient Bagels (with Greek Yogurt)
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Add the flour and yogurt to a large mixing bowl and use a spatula to mix it together until a thick dough forms. Add some extra yogurt a little at a timed if needed, if the dough is not sticking together.1 ¾ cups self rising flour, 1 ¼ cups plain Greek yogurt
- Dust a little flour on a cutting board or clean surface and knead the dough with your hands for a few minutes before forming it into a ball. Tip: Let your dough sit at room temperature for up to 10 minutes before you start kneading if you have a little extra time. This will give the flour a chance to become fully hydrated, and may make the dough easier to work with as you knead and form your bagels.
- Use a pastry cutter or knife to cut the dough into four even sections, roll each into a ball and then poke your thumb through the center to form four bagels.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place your bagels on the sheet. If desired, use a pastry brush to lightly coat each bagel with the egg wash. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or your other favorite seasonings over each bagel.1 egg, 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 22-24 minutes (for gluten free bagels, you may need up to 5 extra minutes of baking time to make sure the middles are baked through.)
- Let bagels cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
