Ready in under 35 minutes and Weight Watchers-friendly, these bagels are versatile and easy to customize.
Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
Optional Toppings:
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Everything Bagel Seasoning, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and fat-free Greek yogurt. Stir them together until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 2 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a log shape and join the ends together to form a bagel.
Place the formed bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings like Everything Bagel Seasoning, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Let the bagels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them fresh or toasted with your favorite spread!
Serving Tips:
Fresh or Toasted: These bagels are delicious served fresh from the oven or toasted for a crispier texture. Toast them and spread on your favorite toppings like cream cheese, avocado, or nut butter for a satisfying meal or snack.
Toppings: For a classic bagel experience, spread with a thin layer of cream cheese, peanut butter, or hummus. For a savory twist, top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or smoked salmon. You can also use them as sandwich buns for a light lunch.
Pairing Ideas: Pair with a fresh fruit salad, a smoothie, or a cup of coffee for a balanced breakfast. They can also be enjoyed with soups or salads for a wholesome lunch.
Customize: These bagels are versatile enough to be enjoyed both sweet and savory. Try spreading honey or jam for a sweet version or go savory with scrambled eggs and cheese.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: If you plan to eat them within 1-2 days, store your bagels in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to 2 days.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, you can refrigerate the bagels in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Be sure to let them cool completely before refrigerating to avoid excess moisture.
Freezing: For longer storage, these bagels freeze really well. Simply wrap them individually in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, just toast or warm them in the oven to restore their texture.
Reheating: To enjoy leftover bagels, simply toast them in a toaster or warm them up in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave them for about 15-20 seconds if you’re in a hurry.

FAQs:
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes! If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own. For every 1 cup of regular all-purpose flour, add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix well, and you have a substitute for self-rising flour.
Can I use a different type of yogurt?
It’s best to use fat-free Greek yogurt for the proper consistency and to keep the recipe Weight Watchers-friendly. If you substitute with regular yogurt or a non-Greek variety, the dough may be too runny. Strain the yogurt if necessary to thicken it.
Can I make these bagels gluten-free?
Absolutely! Use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend to make these bagels gluten-free. If your gluten-free flour doesn’t include baking powder and salt, you’ll need to add them as described in FAQ #1.
