Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

5 oz All purpose flour
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

1 cup Non fat Greek Yogurt (Fage)
1 large egg (reserve a little for egg wash)

Instructions

Add Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking powder, and brown sugar to create the base for your dough.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the non-fat Greek yogurt and beaten egg to the dry ingredients, reserving a small amount of egg to use later as an egg wash.
Combine Dough: Stir all ingredients together well until a dough forms.
Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth. Alternatively, you can use an electric mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Divide Dough: Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
Shape Cylinders: Roll each piece into a cylinder shape.
Form Bagels: Shape each cylinder into a bagel by connecting the ends, forming a ring.
Prepare to Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and place the bagels on it.
Apply Egg Wash: Brush the bagels lightly with the reserved beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden crust.
Bake Bagels: Place the baking sheet on the highest rack in the oven and bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes until they are slightly browned on top.

Notes

For a crispier crust, you can bake a pan of water in the oven to create steam while baking.
Make sure to knead the dough well to develop gluten and improve texture.
If you prefer a sweeter bagel, increase the brown sugar slightly.
Store leftover bagels in an airtight container and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
