Prep: 20 min · Cook: 22 min · Yield: 6 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups thick greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon water
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (about 5 min) — 375°F
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the Greek yogurt and stir until a shaggy dough forms. (about 3 min)
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1 to 2 minutes, just until smooth. Divide it into 6 equal pieces. (about 3 min)
4. Roll each piece into a 7-inch rope, join the ends, and pinch firmly to form a ring with a 1 1/2-inch center hole. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. (about 7 min)
5. Beat the egg with the water. Brush the tops of the bagels with the egg wash and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. (about 2 min)
6. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. The centers should be set and reach at least 190°F. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. (about 22 min) — 375°F
