Easy No-Yeast Bagels (No Boil) are the perfect way to celebrate Bagelfest Day or enjoy fresh bagels any time! These bagels use self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, so there’s no need for yeast or boiling—just mix, shape, and bake for chewy, golden bagels in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour (see tip below for homemade version)
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% works best)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky, adding a little more flour if needed.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long, then join the ends to form a bagel shape. Pinch the ends to seal.
- Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with beaten egg and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. For extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely!).
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Homemade Self-Rising Flour: Mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Toast before serving for best texture.
