Homemade bagels. Easy? Yep! It’s true. Just 5 ingredients is all you need to make these baked bagels. Lower your carbs and get some protein plus flavor with the help of Greek yogurt.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
Add Greek yogurt and blend just until lumpy dough forms. *Do not over mix the dough or this may result in flat bagels*
Divide dough into 8 equal parts.
Grab the first chunk of dough and roll it around using your hands, pressing it together to compact it. Then poke a hole in the center and gently squeeze the dough all the way around to enlarge the circle. The hole in the center should be about 2" wide.
Place the bagel-shaped dough onto a lined lightly floured baking pan. Repeat until all bagels are formed and placed onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each so they have room to expand. I put four bagels on each baking sheet.
In a small bowl or cup, beat the egg then brush it onto each bagel. Add your toppings.
Bake on the upper rack at 400˚ in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for about 5 minutes before cutting. Toast and add toppings as desired.

Notes
You can mix extras like cheese or dried fruit (dried onion, cranberries, blueberries, raisins, cinnamon sugar, etc.) right into the dough before baking to create different flavors of bagels.
