I’ll admit: I was skeptical that a make-at-home bagel with Greek yogurt as the main ingredient would be edible AND that I would be able to bake them on my own.
So I was SHOCKED when they were actually delicious. And easy! And the recipe only calls for 6 ingredients and no special equipment. #winning!
Even my 6-year-old daughter said ‘these are the best everything bagels I’ve ever had! you made these?!’
Like I mentioned earlier, the main ingredient in these bagels is fa*gE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt, which means they have a ton more protein than the average bagel – an easy way to sneak it in if you have a picky child.
fa*gE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt has no added sugar, is made with milk from non-GMO fed cows, and packs 18 grams of protein in one 6oz cup.
The original Skinnytaste Bagel recipe can be found here – along with variations to make them gluten-free or dairy-free.
I followed the original Skinnytaste bagel recipe to a T and shared it below!
2 teaspoons baking powder (if it’s expired it won’t rise)
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 egg white, beaten (for the bagel ‘wash’ to get the seasoning to stick)
Everything Bagel Seasoning – or you could totally improvise this and use poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion flakes, etc.
Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – spray it with oil so the bagels don’t stick.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork – it will look like small crumbles at first, NOT like a ball of dough.
Lightly dust flour on your work surface and knead the dough until it’s tacky but not sticky. Honestly, I think mine was a little too sticky but the bagels turned out awesome so don’t let that deter you.
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ‘ropes’ and form bagels – see pic below.
Use a silicone brush to wet the bagel with the egg white wash and press the bagel into a plate of the bagel seasoning. I did both sides of the bagels AND the sides because you can never have too much Everything bagel seasoning.
Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes – I checked on mine several times starting at 20 minutes but 25 minutes was spot on. Let them cool before you cut them.

If you are bored of the regular taste of your staple food, you need to get this pack of everything bagel seasoning blend. It is prepared using white and black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion and garlic, and sea salt flakes.
The standard combination of toppings on an everything bagel is as follows: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt. Some may add in black sesame and cracked pepper, too. The result is a supremely flavorful bite, a complex nutty flavor, and an exquisite extra crunch (and usually a ton of crumbs.)
Bread flour – Because of its high protein content, bread flour makes these homemade bagels delightfully chewy. This recipe also works with all-purpose flour, they're just a bit less chewy than bagels made with bread flour. Maple syrup – It activates the yeast and gives the bagels a hint of sweetness.
This blend is a divine mixture of black and white sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, sea salt flakes and poppy seeds. The concoction's salty, savory flavors are reminiscent of your favorite bagel variety but jive with a lot more than the crusts of white bread.
The exact ingredients vary, but recipes often include garlic flakes, onion flakes, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and kosher salt. The bagels are made with regular dough and the name is independent of additional fillings such as cream cheese. The everything bagel is made with a variety of toppings.
Everything bagel seasoning typically includes poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. It's a mixture of common ingredients you probably have in your pantry right now.
But even if you buy store-bought bagels, you can basically convert ANY plain bagel into an everything bagel by first giving it a smear of cream cheese, then sprinkling the seasoning over the cream cheese! The spice blend sticks to the cream cheese and make the bagel taste like an everything bagel.
To make bagels properly you need to give them a bath. Make sure you use only baking soda and not baking powder. The baking soda helps the bagels form that beautiful golden crust and give them the distinct bagels taste.
Baking soda makes the water more alkaline, giving the bagels a pretzel-like quality that contributes to their chewiness. Just one teaspoon helps the bagels develop a shiny, dark-brown exterior as they bake.
If your dough is too wet, it'll create large holes in the crumb of the dough and your bagels will be more like French bread, with a fluffy interior (see top photo). When too much flour is kneaded in, bagels become dense, hard and tough, instead of crisp and chewy.
Smoked salmon with cream cheese is the quintessential bagel topping and for good reason. This decadent dish takes just moments to prepare but delivers big on the wow factor. Smear your cream cheese onto your bagel with a butter knife and delicately fold smoked salmon over the top.
Unopened, a high-quality Everything Bagel Seasoning can last for about 2-3 years past the printed date on the package. Once opened, the quality will be best within 6 months to a year, but if stored properly, it can last 1-2 years.
