Soft, golden bagels made with thick Greek yogurt and simple pantry ingredients, ready in under 40 minutes.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 125 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 8 grams baking powder
03 - 1.25 grams salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 240 grams thick Greek yogurt
05 - 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

→ Optional Toppings

06 - Everything bagel seasoning
07 - Cinnamon sugar
08 - Shredded cheese
09 - Garlic and herbs
10 - Chocolate chips

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cinnamon if using.
03 - Incorporate the Greek yogurt into the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until a dough forms.
04 - Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes to achieve elasticity.
05 - Divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each into a ball, then create a hole in the center of each to form rings.
06 - Brush the tops of each bagel with beaten egg, then evenly sprinkle with desired toppings.
07 - Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
08 - Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a softer texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt and avoid over-kneading the dough.
