Greek Yogurt Bagels (4 Ingredients)
We love love love to make these bagels in my house. They’re easy to throw together with just 4 main ingredients. The salt isn’t counted and neither is the topping since it is optional. You can use Everything Bagel Seasoning or poppy seeds or sesame seeds or simply leave them plain. Regardless, they will be your new favorite alternative to store bought. And take it from me, I grew up in New York and know a good bagel when I see one!
So the key points to this recipe are only use NON FAT 0% Greek Yogurt to avoid stickiness! Do not over flour the dough when kneading or forming your ropes. Also, don’t form your bagels with a super wide hole in the middle. Don’t skip the 15 minute rest period either post bake. You can also air fry these bad boys at 280 F. for 15 minutes or until they turn golden (no need to flip them). Let them cool the same 15 minutes post air fryer.
Slice then slather on your cream cheese, butter or eggs and enjoy! They are so easy to make and I hope you try them!

Greek Yogurt Bagels (4 Ingredients)
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour (or Gluten Free flour)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup 0% Fage Greek yogurt
- 1 egg, beaten
Optional Toppings:
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk your flour, baking powder and salt. Add in the Greek yogurt and mix. It will look like crumbles but continue using your hands to combine and form a dough ball. LIGHTLY sprinkle a clean surface and knead your dough about 15 turns. It should be tacky but not sticky.
- Divide the dough ball into 4 equal parts and then roll each ball out on a clean surface (no flour needed further) to form a rope about 3/4 inch thick. Join the ends together to form your bagel and repeat with the rest of the balls. Keep in mind, the center space should not be too wide.
- Next brush each bagel with the egg wash and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Bake for 25 minutes remove and let them cool for 15 minutes prior to slicing.
I made these today and they are easy and quick to do. The hardest part was waiting 15 long minutes before you can cut and eat them! Lol
lol I agree, I hate any delay in my food!!!
can you use whole milk Greek yogurt?
My go-to whenever I forget to buy bread, or when I want something tasty homemade from the oven. It’s also my husbands favorite.
Hi Tina, YES this is such a great stand in recipe for bread.. very satisfying and simple to make!
Delicious ! Such a quick and easy recipe . Perfect for on the go breakfast with a boost of protein ! Do these need to be refrigerated to store them ?
Hi Brenna! So happy the bagels were enjoyed! Yes, I would store them in the fridge due to the yogurt.
Loved these! I am recovering from multiple surgeries and wanted something simple to make. Thank you
Hi Tracy.. hope you’re feeling better and recovering well!
tasted rlly good
Hi Veronica, glad you liked them!
Just made them with gf flour and they came out amazing
which gluten free flour did you use? I’m using Robin Hood and they’re turning out gummy. trying to figure out why
Hello Stella, can I use almond flour or coconut flour and what’s the measurement?
Thanks 😊
Can I skip the salt? We’re on a salt restricted diet and would love this recipe if I can eliminate the salt.
Are you able to freeze the bagels?
I couldn’t believe how easy these were to make and so good!! Definitely adding to my recipe box.
Thank You!! ❤️🥯
HI Paula, I know right!? SO easy and yummy! Thanks for the kind review!
What’s wrong with me? I followed the directions exactly and my dough stayed super sticky! Couldn’t even form balls let alone roll them out. What can I do for next time??
use fat free yoghurt. it says in the recipe that using one with fat gives you very stick dough.
Stella, once again you have another winner. I am a New Yorker and I know bagels. while they are not your traditional My bagel they are the bomb! I will continue to make these fast, easy and delicious bagels
I haven’t read through the comments but did anyone use almond flour and did it work? They look amazing.
Hi
Just made them and they are super delicious!!! So easy to bake!
Thanks for the recipe 🙂
HI FLorence! glad you liked the bagels! thanks for trying them!
absolutely delicious. NOT LIKE CARDBOARD – which is how I feel about all commercial gluten free breads! Such a great find! This will be made regularly in my NY home!
Thanks Stella!!!
HI Jodi, glad you liked it! Thanks for trying it !!!
These were amazingly delicious! Thank you so much. One question though, the dough for me was very sticky even though I used nonfat Greek yogurt. I didn’t really knead it, just mix it because of that. After all of the flour was absorbed, it stayed sticky. Why might that be? Thanks again!
Hi Michelle, Sometimes the yogurt you’re using might have a higher moisture content than mine for example. In that situation, add a little more flour to the mixture. Also, it might have needed more kneading. I hope this helps.
do u need to butter and flour the pan u bake bagles on
not necessary!
This recipe was easy to follow and the bagels were very tasty. I used almond flour.
Hi Sherry, love to hear that! Glad they were enjoyed!
did you use same measurements of Almond flour?
im doing now its very sticky and i cannot form a doug add some flour to make a ball,using greek style all natural yogurt
Hi Lani its supposed to be sticky theres nothing wrong with that
I made these with my 3 year-old yesterday and they were fantastic! This is the third bagel recipe we’ve tried and our favorite by far. Instead of everything bagels, we made orange (with orange zest and a little brown sugar), chocolate chip, and parmesan. So good!
Hi Keeley, those bagel flavours sound amazing! thanks for sharing your feedback!
two thumbs up. will try almond flour next time. so quick and easy to make. my son loved it
has anyone made these with a flavoured yogurt? the only GY I have on hand is black cherry
Made these today using bread flour and 2% Greek yogurt…delicious! And no guilt! The hubs loved them too, he wanted another! I will make a double batch going forward. A new staple in our house!
Hello! We made these with almond flour and the dough was super sticky. Too sticky to where we couldn’t really get a good ball or roll them out. We used the same yogurt you recommended. Is it different measurements if you substitute almond flour?
Hi Kristin, sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you – next time add a little more almond flour for the right consistency. But keep in mind the dough will be sticky.
Made this with King Arthur GF flour and cashew yogurt. I had to add more flour to get the dough consistency but they came out really good! A great GF DF option for us as we are working towards a paleo diet in our household.
Hi Aimey, glad the recipe was to your liking! And thanks for the kind rating and feedback which will definitely help others!
SO easy and delicious. Thank you!
Hi Alex, Glad you liked it and thanks for trying it!
I had whole fat Greek yogurt & YES it made the dough very sticky. I had to add a little more flour to get a dough ball. I’m going back to get more yogurt but will get non fat this time! I will also double the recipe. I love the bagels.
HI Jane, Happy you enjoyed the recipe and thanks for the feedback!
