Stop buying boring store-bought bread with these easy homemade bagels.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 egg (whisked, for egg wash)
Optional: Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or dried onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough forms.
Use your hands to knead the dough inside the bowl until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, roll into logs, and join the ends to form circles.
Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with the whisked egg wash and sprinkle with desired seasonings.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Keep bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Use thick Greek yogurt for the best consistency. For a protein-packed meal, serve with cream cheese and thin, crispy turkey bacon.
