Ingredients And Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Greek Yogurt Bagels. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
The base of these bagels are made with flour. You can use whole-wheat or all purpose flour. A 1:1 gluten free flour unfortunately won’t work the same.
Baking powder is going to help these bagels rise during baking time.
Salt helps balance out all the flavors.
Greek yogurt is going to also help these bagels rise during baking time while providing a soft, fluffy texture. You can also use non-dairy yogurt to make these vegan.
After these bagels are assembled, they are brushed with an egg wash and then sprinkled with everything but the bagel seasoning. Feel free to use oil instead of an egg wash to make these vegan and sub for your favorite seasoning.

How To Make
ONE: Start by making the dough, in a large mixing bowl add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well.

TWO: Next, add in the greek yogurt and mix with a spatula until a dough starts to form. You may need to get in there and use your hands to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.

THREE: Roll the dough into a ball and leave it in the mixing bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.


FOUR: When ready, bring the dough out onto a floured surface and knead once more. Roll it back into a ball and then cut it into 4 equal parts. Roll each section into a ball and then poke your finger in the middle to create a hole in the center.


FIVE: Add the bagels to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, brush with the egg wash and season with the everything but the bagel seasoning. Place in the oven to bake for 25-28 minutes.



SIX: Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into and serving.

Tips And Tricks
Mix together dry ingredients before adding in the greek yogurt.
This dough tends to be sticky, so don’t be afraid to flour your hands more than once.
Use dairy free yogurt to make these dairy free and vegan.
Feel free to customize them by adding on different seasonings before baking.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within 3 days. Homemade bagels can also be stored in the fridge or freezer.

Can you make this recipe with gluten free flour?
Hi Penelope!
Yes you can! I would recommend Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-free flour!
Can I use coconut yogurt?
Yes you can, they won’t rise as much though!
Can you make these with oatflour
Hi Erika!
I have not tested it with any other flours yet, but I’m working on an oat flour recipe. Will be sharing soon!
Best view i have ever seen !
Can you make them keto friendly by using almond flour?
unfortunately almond flour is not a 1:1 swap with regular or whole-wheat flour. So that substitution won’t work. I have no tested it any other way! Sorry about that!
Do you happen to know roughly the calories on 1 bagel?
Hi Kasey, I don’t currently track calories. But you can plug the ingredients into a calculator on google to determine that 🙂
Can you make them with regular yogurt?
I’ve tried them with non-dairy yogurt and it still works, but it won’t be exactly the same.
Love this recipe so so much!?
Only 4 ingredients and such a simple process. Even a non-baker like myself can do it. Best part, SO good!
Good recipe! This was my first attempt at homemade bagels and this was recipe was easy to make. Definitely a keeper!
Thank you so much for sharing, so glad you enjoyed them!
What is the best way to store these bagels?
Hi Nicole! I like to store them in the fridge since they are made with yogurt. Then, I cut them up and toast them in the morning!
If I want to increase the quantity and make 12 bagels, I increase the flour and yogurt to 3 cups each?
Hi Krishanta! Yes, that’s correct. You would tripe all the ingredients in the recipe!
If I make these in a donut pan do I spray it instead of using parchment paper? Or should I cut paper to fit in each space?
Hi Diane, you can use non-stick spray
Absolutely delicious!
I finally made your bagels I got a bit creative with the toppings (garlic parm & sesame seed). They aren’t as pretty as yours but they taste delicious! Thank you!!!
These are the best bagels ever! I make them monthly for my family and I
Hi Rachel! Oh that makes me so happy to hear!! thanks for your comment and rating. I really appreciate it!
I made these and they were great!! I was wondering if I could substitute the flour to make them gluten-free… would I need to change anything else in the recipe?
hi there! I have not tested this myself, but I have seen a handful of remakes on my instagram of people using gluten free flour to make these. Not 1:1 gluten free flour, but regular Gf flour. Everything else stayed the same, I hope that helps!!
All I have is gluten free flour so I’m going to try my luck :/
Hi Olivia! I’ve heard that it does, just depends on the brand of GF flour that is used. Let me know how it works out for you! xx
If I am doubling the recipe, should I also double the time to proof?
Hi there, no need. Same amount of time will suffice! However, if you did rest it longer that’s no prob. It won’t make or break it.
I made the bagelsbut the hole disappeared! However, I uses Eureka plain flour, Woolworths has the sprinkle and they worked and are delicious.
i’m glad it worked out! they do rise a ton during baking, so I recommend making the hole larger than you expect!
Can I use full fat Greek Yogurt
Yes, absolutely!
Can I also use chickpea flour?
I have not tested it with chickpea flour so i can’t say for sure.
Hi Hannah,
I saw this recipe on instagram and really wanted to try it. When I made the dough, it stayed sticky for some reason and I couldn’t get it to a nice dough. I used the measurements as discriped, but it didn’t work. Do you have any idea why the dough woudn’t form?
Hi Zoe! You can add more flour in as needed. Dough will be slightly sticky, but it still should be workable. Feel free to add in flour as needed and dust your hands with flour as well when working it.
I am addicted to these bagels, I make this recipe every week. I can’t even eat “real” bagels after this. I use normal white flour and my favorite yogurt brand to use is Fage 0% because it is less “wet” than other brands like Chobani and makes the perfect dough texture.
Hi Maddy! aw yayyy, these are my favorite too! so happy to hear you’re enjoying them! I have learned that the type of yogurt that is used can change the consistency, but they all will work the same, just keep adding in a little bit of flour at a time until you reached the right workable dough consistency!
I MADE THESE AND THEY ARE TASTY!! HOW CAN I PROPERLY STORE THEM SO THEY DON’T GET ROCK HARD OR STIFF?
Thanks
Hi Lindsay! so so happy to hear you liked them! I store mine in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge. and then reheat in the toaster or air fryer!
How much protein is in this recipe?
Hi Mary! I do not provide macros on my recipes but there are tons of free calculators on google!
Can you put blueberries in this recipe?
Has anyone tried to boil these bagels before baking?
yes i have! works great 🙂
Perfect recipe. Made everything and cinnamon sugar bagels
so happy you’re enjoying them!
I think 1 and 1/4 cup of flower is too much for the bagels. Dough is dried. I don’t understand all those 5 star reviews
Hi Antonella, be sure to spoon and level your flour into your measuring cup to get an accurate amount of flour. it’s easy to overpack if you dip your cup into the flour. I can assure you 1 1/4 is the perfect amount!
They turned out amazing! I had to put more greek yogurt, and I added basil and sun-dried tomatoes seasoning, with grated cheese on top. Im impressed!
These turned out super well! Made everything bagels first then added some choc chips to the rest of the dough for choc chip bagels. 🥯
I’ve tried many recipes for the yogurt bagels, this is the best one! Thank you!
