Viral Greek Yogurt Bagels – 7 Flavors!

Scroll down to the bagel flavor you want to make for the easiest, most concise instructions. 

Plain bagel instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour (200g, 1 1/3 cups), baking powder (2 tsp), and salt (1/2 tsp).
3. Add the yogurt (240g, 1 cup) and mix with a spatula until it’s a shaggy dough.
4. Switching to a hand, knead together until smooth.
5. Lightly flour a clean surface. Transfer the dough ball onto it and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Take one portion between the palm of your hands and roll until it becomes a long log, about 9″ in length. Add a little extra flour if it’s sticking. Place it onto the counter and turn the ends to make a bagel shape, forming together the two ends of the log. Repeat with each portion. 
7. Place them on the lined baking sheet and brush with the whisked egg for an egg wash. The more egg you use, the more golden brown the bagels will be.
8. Bake the bagels for 25-35 minutes, or until med-deep golden brown on top (reference photos). Remove from the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet. I recommend letting them cool completely before slicing, as the texture becomes better as it cools.

Everything Bagel instructions:

8. If you want, you can add some more jalapeno pieces by sticking it into the sides of the shaped dough. I did this so there would be more jalapeno showing.
9. Brush with the whisked egg for an egg wash. The more egg you use, the more golden brown the bagels will be. Feel free to sprinkle with some onion flakes if desired.

Blueberry instructions:

1. Put 1/3 cup of blueberries (preferably small ones) into a small saucepan over low-med heat. Heat and occasionally stir until the blueberries become soft and release their juices. Remove from heat and let them cool down completely.
2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour (200g, 1 1/3 cups), baking powder (2 tsp), and salt (1/2 tsp).
