It’s a game-changer for anyone craving a satisfying bagel without the typical time commitment.

The subtle tang from the Greek yogurt beautifully complements the simple flour and salt base, making each bite incredibly flavorful.

Feel free to experiment with different flours; use whole wheat for a heartier bite, or a gluten-free mix for a dietary-friendly option, ensuring the weight remains around 5 ounces. Remember to adjust salt if you're using table salt instead of kosher salt, as table salt is finer and more potent.
