Step-by-Step Instructions for Greek Yogurt Bagels
  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and yeast until thoroughly mixed.
  2. Add Warm Water and Yogurt: Pour in warm water and Greek yogurt, then mix to form a thick, shaggy dough.
  3. Drizzle in Olive Oil: Add olive oil to the mixture and stir gently until it forms a cohesive dough.
  4. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough in the bowl for 2-3 minutes until it comes together and is slightly tacky.
  5. Transfer and Knead Further: On a floured surface, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Let the Dough Rise: Shape into a ball, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes until doubled.
  7. Punch Down the Dough: Gently punch down the risen dough to release air bubbles.
  8. Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 pieces, roll into balls, and create a hole in the center to shape bagels.
  9. Boil the Bagels: Preheat oven to 375°F. Boil bagels in water for 1-2 minutes per side.
  10. Prepare for Baking: Arrange boiled bagels on a baking sheet, brush with egg, and optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  11. Bake the Bagels: Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
