The Best 2 Ingredient Bagels Recipe
Unlike traditional bagel recipes, these 2 ingredient bagels require no yeast or rising time! If you are craving bagels, you can have freshly baked bagels in about 30 minutes. The best part? You only need 2 ingredients! Technically, I used four ingredients here but that is only because I added an egg wash and everything bagel seasoning on top for some added flavor.
These bagels are a blank canvas, perfect for adding your favorite toppings or making them into sandwiches or pizza bagels for later!
INgredients Needed
- Flour: Flour forms the structure of the bagel. You can use all-purpose flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour if you prefer.
- Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt gives the dough its moisture and elasticity. Be sure to use full-fat yogurt for the best texture.
- Optional: To top them off, you can add an egg wash and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for added flavor!
How to make 2 Ingredient Bagels
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add flour and greek yogurt to a large bowl. Mix to combine (I typically use my hands) to form a shaggy dough. Continue to knead with your hands until it forms into a ball.
- Knead: Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for another 2-3 minutes.
- Rest & Divide: Allow the dough to rest for 5-10 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 pieces then roll each piece into a ball. Let the balls rest for 10 minutes.
- Shape into Bagels: Poke a hole in the center of each ball using your fingers then stretch the dough to create a bagel shape.
- Add Egg Wash & Everything Seasoning: Transfer the bagels to the prepared baking sheet. Brush on the egg wash then top with everything seasoning or any other desired seasonings or cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they start to get golden brown.
- Cook & Enjoy: Allow them to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing and enjoying!
Tips for Success
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt! For the best flavor, I recommend using full-fat Greek yogurt. Since these bagels only have 2 ingredients, this will add enough moisture and flavor to the dough!
- Knead the dough! The dough will be quite shaggy at first, but keep kneading until it forms into a smooth dough. Then, let it rest before forming into a ball and bagel shape! If you don’t let it rest, it would want to be manipulated and will not stay in the bagel shape.
- Be generous with your seasoning! The egg wash helps the toppings stick, so don’t hold back on adding your favorite flavors like sesame seeds or granulated garlic!
Serving Suggestions
You can do so many things with these easy 2 ingredient bagels! Here are some of my favorite ways to use them:
- Classic Bagel & Cream Cheese: Slice your warm bagels in half and slather on your favorite cream cheese or try my veggie cream cheese!
- Bagel Sandwiches: Use these bagels to make a breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese, and bacon or ham.
- Pizza Bagels: Turn your bagels into mini pizzas by adding marinara sauce, cheese, and toppings, then popping them in the oven for a few minutes.
