Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour (use gluten-free self-rising flour if needed); 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat); 1 tablespoon butter of choice (melted); 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping); 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional, for topping); I start by adding the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Using a spatula, I combine the ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form.; Once the mixture thickens, I switch to using my hands and gently knead everything together inside the bowl. The dough should become soft, slightly tacky, and easy to handle. If it feels too sticky, I sprinkle a little extra flour. If it feels too dry, I add a small spoonful of yogurt.; This quick dough comes together in under 5 minutes.

Main Ingredients

1 cups 1 ¾ cups self-rising flour (use gluten-free self-rising flour if needed)
1 cup 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon butter of choice (melted)
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Main Ingredients

1 I start by adding the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Using a spatula, I combine the ingredients until a shaggy dough begins to form.
1 Once the mixture thickens, I switch to using my hands and gently knead everything together inside the bowl. The dough should become soft, slightly tacky, and easy to handle. If it feels too sticky, I sprinkle a little extra flour. If it feels too dry, I add a small spoonful of yogurt.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Making the dough for these homemade bagels is incredibly simple and beginner-friendly.
2

I lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 2–3 minutes until smooth. Unlike traditional yeast bagels, this dough does not require rising time, which makes this recipe incredibly convenient.
3

After kneading, I let the dough rest for about 5 minutes while I prepare the baking sheet and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4

Shaping these easy bagels is simple and fun.
5

Divide the Dough:I divide the dough into 4 equal portions for standard-sized bagels.
6

Roll Into Ropes:I roll each portion into a rope about 6–7 inches long.
7

Form the Bagel Shape:I bring the ends together and pinch them firmly to seal, creating the classic bagel ring shape.
8

Brush and Top:I place the shaped bagels onto the lined baking sheet, brush the tops with melted butter, and sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds for extra flavor and texture.
9

Baking is where these 2 ingredient bagels transform into golden perfection.
10

I bake the bagels at 375°F (190°C) for about 20–25 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden brown on top.
11

For extra browning, I sometimes switch the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
12

Once baked, I transfer the bagels to a cooling rack and let them rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps them set and improves their chewy texture.
13

These homemade bagels freeze beautifully. I slice them in half, place them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, I toast them directly from frozen — no thawing needed.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
