Two-Ingredient Bagels
Picture this: it’s a Saturday morning, and you’ve got hungry kids asking for breakfast. You want something fresh, homemade, and satisfying, but you’re also in a rush. That’s when these two-ingredient bagels become a lifesaver. The first time I made them, I was skeptical. Could something so simple really taste that good? But as soon as they came out of the oven, golden and fragrant, I knew we had a winner.
What I love most about these bagels is their versatility. Whether we’re having them plain, loaded with everything seasoning, or topped with cheese, there’s a version for everyone. My kids love sprinkling on their own toppings, which makes breakfast a fun and interactive experience. Plus, knowing exactly what’s going into their food is always a bonus for me.
The best part? These bagels are ridiculously easy to make. With just two main ingredients and a few optional add-ons for flavor, you can whip up bakery-quality bagels in under 30 minutes. No yeast, no waiting—just mix, shape, bake, and enjoy. My family’s reaction says it all: there are never any leftovers. My husband even takes them to work and proudly shares the recipe when colleagues ask about them.
If you’re a busy mom like me or just someone who loves quick, easy, and delicious recipes, this one’s for you. Trust me—you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Can I use any type of flour?
For best results, stick to self-rising flour. If you only have all-purpose flour, you can make your own self-rising version by adding 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt per cup of flour.
What type of yogurt should I use?
Use plain Greek yogurt. Avoid flavored or sweetened varieties, as they can affect the taste and texture.
Can I freeze these bagels?
Absolutely! Once they’ve cooled, wrap them individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Just reheat in a toaster or oven when you’re ready to eat.
What toppings work best?
Everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, shredded cheese, or even cinnamon sugar for a sweeter option. The sky’s the limit!
Are these gluten-free?
They can be! Simply use a gluten-free self-rising flour and ensure your yogurt is gluten-free as well.
What You Need to Make Two-Ingredient Bagels
Ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

How to Make Two-Ingredient Bagels
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope, then join the ends to form a bagel shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Brush the tops with a little water or milk, then sprinkle on your desired toppings.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Making the Best Two-Ingredient Bagels
Don’t Overmix: Overworking the dough can make the bagels tough. Mix just until combined.
Customize Your Flavors: Add a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
Use a Non-Stick Surface: Parchment paper is a must to prevent sticking.
Double the Recipe: These bagels disappear fast! Consider making a double batch to save for later.
Check for Doneness: If you’re unsure if they’re fully baked, tap the bottom of a bagel—it should sound hollow.
