I’ll admit: I was skeptical that a make-at-home bagel with Greek yogurt as the main ingredient would be edible AND that I would be able to bake them on my own.
So I was SHOCKED when they were actually delicious. And easy! And the recipe only calls for 6 ingredients and no special equipment. #winning!
Even my 6-year-old daughter said ‘these are the best everything bagels I’ve ever had! you made these?!’
Like I mentioned earlier, the main ingredient in these bagels is fa*gE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt, which means they have a ton more protein than the average bagel – an easy way to sneak it in if you have a picky child.
fa*gE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt has no added sugar, is made with milk from non-GMO fed cows, and packs 18 grams of protein in one 6oz cup.

I followed the original Skinnytaste bagel recipe to a T and shared it below!
2 teaspoons baking powder (if it’s expired it won’t rise)
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 egg white, beaten (for the bagel ‘wash’ to get the seasoning to stick)
Everything Bagel Seasoning – or you could totally improvise this and use poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion flakes, etc.
Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – spray it with oil so the bagels don’t stick.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork – it will look like small crumbles at first, NOT like a ball of dough.
Lightly dust flour on your work surface and knead the dough until it’s tacky but not sticky. Honestly, I think mine was a little too sticky but the bagels turned out awesome so don’t let that deter you.
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ‘ropes’ and form bagels – see pic below.
Use a silicone brush to wet the bagel with the egg white wash and press the bagel into a plate of the bagel seasoning. I did both sides of the bagels AND the sides because you can never have too much Everything bagel seasoning.
Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes – I checked on mine several times starting at 20 minutes but 25 minutes was spot on. Let them cool before you cut them.

This blend is a divine mixture of black and white sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, sea salt flakes and poppy seeds. The concoction's salty, savory flavors are reminiscent of your favorite bagel variety but jive with a lot more than the crusts of white bread.
The standard combination of toppings on an everything bagel is as follows: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt. Some may add in black sesame and cracked pepper, too. The result is a supremely flavorful bite, a complex nutty flavor, and an exquisite extra crunch (and usually a ton of crumbs.)
Is everything bagel seasoning healthy? While there is some sodium in this seasoning, the seeds and veggies contain fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins/minerals. Plus, it's big on flavor and small on calories. So yes, there are some health benefits to this seasoning, as long as you don't go too crazy with the salt!
The flavor/seasoning of everything bagels is very unique and difficult to describe, but imagine a symphony of flavors coming from the nuttiness of the seeds with hints of garlic and onion, the spiciness of pepper then bursts of salt. It's truly an experience.
When using it on store-bought bagels, first brush the top of the bagel with a very thin layer of water, then sprinkle with everything bagel spice. The water is essential for the spice mix to stick to the bagels.

Since the blend is made with ingredients that don't really go bad, this seasoning will keep for a long, long time. If there are any expiration dates on the individual spices, go by the earliest expiration date. If not, make the seasoning in bulk and use month after month to your heart's delight!
Bread flour – Because of its high protein content, bread flour makes these homemade bagels delightfully chewy. This recipe also works with all-purpose flour, they're just a bit less chewy than bagels made with bread flour. Maple syrup – It activates the yeast and gives the bagels a hint of sweetness.
a regular bagel is the water you boil them in. Much like a specific vineyard terroir is used to make a wine, certain minerals in New York City tap water are attributed to creating the best bagels. These include low concentrations of calcium and magnesium and a high level of sediment.
Before baking, let's top the bagels. Brush with a little egg white, then coat in everything bagel seasoning.
