These 4 ingredient whole wheat sesame bagels are yeast free, made from just four ingredients, and are SO easy to whip up! They don't require any fancy kitchen gadgets or mixers and you can customize them with any seeds or seasonings you'd like!
I can't even begin to explain my love for these bagels! I honestly never used to make homemade bread or bagels because of how long most of the recipes take. If you can relate with me on that one, these bagels are an absolute MUST! I was so amazed with how these turned out without any hassles or fancy kitchen equipment required. This recipe is completely yeast free, and the dough is made from just two simple ingredients: greek yogurt and self-rising flour! If you don't have any self-rising flour on hand, you can easily create your own with flour, baking powder and salt (method listed below). All you need is 10 minutes to prep them, and 4 simple ingredients!
These bagels are also super customizable and you can easily add in or top them with any seeds or seasonings you like! Some of my favourite toppings are sesame seeds, everything but the bagel seasoning, and poppyseeds. You can also add any mix in's desired such as cinnamon and raisins for cinnamon raisin bagels, blueberries for blueberry bagels, the options are endless! Okay onto the recipe!
Tips to Make this Recipe Perfectly:
Lightly flour the surface and top of dough before kneading and shaping. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
Roll the dough into a sausage like shape and then form it into a bagel shape. Don't try to poke a hole through the dough as this will result in the hole closing up as the bagels are baking.
📖 Recipe
4 Ingredient Whole Wheat Sesame Bagels
Ingredients
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 c greek yogurt
Optional Topping
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For self-rising flour, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl.
- Add in the greek yogurt and stir together with a wooden spoon until a large ball of dough forms.
- Lightly flour a flat surface and knead the dough with your hands (lightly sprinkle additional flour on top of the dough if it gets sticky).
- Form the dough into a large circle and cut with a sharp knife into 4 even pieces. Form each into a bagel shape.
- For sesame seed bagels, brush melted butter on top of each bagel and sprinkle on sesame seeds (the butter is essential for sesame seeds to stick).
- Transfer the bagels to your prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until tops are lightly golden brown.
