Three ingredient dough bagels have the same health benefits of two-ingredient dough bagels, but they are a chewier, larger, and more bagel-y homemade bagel that will make an excellent breakfast prep. Green - 4 WW SP Blue & Purple - 3 WW SP

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (one for the dough, one for the egg wash)
  • 3/4 cup 0% Greek Yogurt (FAGE preferred)
  • 1 1/8 cup Self-rising flour (I use Gold Medal brand)
  • 1 tbsp baking soda (for boiling method)
  • Unknown ingredient
  • Optional: Everything but the Bagel Seasoning, Sesame Seeds, Poppy Seeds, or any other bagel topping

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375. Fill a pot with water (size of a pot you would cook a box of pasta in) and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Put the water on the stove before you make the bagels. 

  2. 2

    Mix the flour, yogurt, and egg. I prefer using a stand mixer with a dough hook, but you can use a spoon to do this by hand.

  3. 3

    Lightly flour a cutting board and knead the dough.

  4. 4

    Cut dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a 3/4 inch thick rope.

  5. 5

    Shape each rope into a circle and pinch dough together to connect each end.

  6. 6

    Add 1 tbsp baking soda to boiling water.

  7. 7

    Slowly drop bagels in boiling water and keep the water on a low boil.

  8. 8

    The bagels should rise to the top after a few seconds. Boil for one minute, flip them, and boil for one more minute.

  9. 9

    The bagels will puff up in size, so do two-three at a time.

  10. 10

    Remove bagels and place on a rack to dry (at least two minutes).

  11. 11

    Give bagels an egg wash and season with preferred bagel toppings (Trader Joe’s everything seasoning, poppy seed, sesame seed, sea salt, rosemary and herbs, etc).

  12. 12

    Bake at 375 for about 25-30 minutes top rack. Rotate baking sheet halfway through.

  13. 13

    After 25-30, increase temperature to 400 and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown all over.

  14. 14

    Let cool for about 20 minutes before toasting and eating.
