Sometimes, we all crave a good bagel. I stumbled upon this delightful and simple recipe for 3 Ingredient Bagels, ideal for busy mornings or a warm, comforting bite at any time of the day. These bagels are a wonderful way to enjoy a classic treat without all the work, and they're so easy to make that you can whip them up with your kids for a fun family activity.
These bagels are quite versatile and can be enjoyed warm with a dollop of cream cheese or some fresh avocado slices. For a hearty breakfast, pair them with scrambled eggs and a side of crispy bacon. If you're serving them for lunch, try adding some deli turkey or ham along with crunchy lettuce and tomato. Don't forget to offer up some fresh fruit or a side salad to make it a well-rounded meal.
3 Ingredient BagelsServings: 4 bagels
Ingredients1 cup Greek yogurt (make sure it's plain and non-fat for the best results)
1 cup self-rising flour (for a lower carb version, use low-carb self-rising flour if available)
Everything bagel seasoning (to taste)
DirectionsPreheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Mix the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Stir until the mixture forms a dough. It might be sticky; if it's too sticky to handle, you can add a little more flour until it's manageable.
Shape the Bagels:
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
Roll each piece into a ball, then press your finger through the center to form a ring shape. Stretch the dough slightly to make a bagel shape, ensuring the hole in the middle is about 1 inch in diameter.
Add Seasoning:
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops with everything bagel seasoning, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
Cool and Serve:
Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with your favorite low-carb toppings or spreads.
Variations & TipsFor a different flavor profile, you can add some garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the dough. If your kids are picky eaters, try adding a bit of grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy twist. You could also sprinkle some everything bagel seasoning on top before baking for a crunchier, more savory experience. Finally, these bagels can be made gluten-free by ensuring that all your ingredients are certified gluten-free.
