Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt if used. Whisk to combine.
  • Add yogurt and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or use the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer to bring the dough together. It takes about 1-2 minutes.
  • If too dry, add more yogurt, one tablespoon at a time. The dough should be slightly sticky on the outside but soft and elastic.
  • Grease a mixing bowl with olive oil, add the dough, and film the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Rest dough for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, up to 1 hour for extra softness.
  • Divide the dough into six balls of identical size, push a floured thumb in the center of each ball, and swirl to open the hole and form a bagel shape - see the picture above for visual help.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place each bagel on the tray.

Optional Egg Wash

  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush this egg wash on top of the bagels. You can also brush with almond milk or maple syrup for an egg-free option.
  • Sprinkle bagel seasoning on top if desired or keep them plain.
  • Bake on the center rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
  • Cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.

Storage

  • Store the bagels wrapped in a clean kitchen towel for up to 3 days at room temperature.
