Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon thoroughly to distribute all dry components evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the Greek yogurt and warm water to the dry mix, stirring gently until a soft dough forms that holds together.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, ensuring even texture.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, roll each into a ball, then poke a hole in the center of each ball and gently stretch to form bagel shapes.
- Boil Bagels: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Boil the bagels in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side to create the chewy crust.
- Bake Bagels: Place the boiled bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider brushing the bagels with honey or melted butter immediately after baking.
- If you prefer a slightly crispier crust, extend baking time by 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt to keep the dough moist and tender.
- Make sure the water for boiling bagels is at a gentle boil to avoid breaking the dough apart.
