Easy Bagel Recipe

How to make healthy easy bagel with only 5 ingredients.

Living in Canada, Tim Hortons is a place where Canadians enjoy their coffee and donuts. I personally love their Everything Bagel Toasted with Butter. It’s something I have every Sunday before going to church. My children love it too. Unfortunately , eating too many of these bagel may increase the number on my scale.

I love finding recipes that are considered “healthy”. I try at least because I know I eat too much junk. I found a bagel recipe from Skinnytaste. It’s only 5 ingredients needed! Mix it and pop it in the oven! That is just too easy so I decided to try it out.

First time I made it I followed the recipe. Mixed the flour, baking powder and salt together.

Then I added the Greek yogurt and mixed it. I kneaded it a few times and divided into 5 balls. From there I rolled each one to the shape of a bagel. I didn’t really do a good job, but it still turned out wonderful. I used egg whites and brushed the surface of the dough , and put in the oven for 25 mins using 375F. The second time I made it, I put a little more Greek yogurt in and added sesame on top of dough.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes cook time

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup of all purpose flour
  2. 1 cup of non-fat Greek Yogurt. I used Liberte plain 0%)
  3. 2 teaspoon of baking powder
  4. 3/4 teaspoon of salt
  5. 1 egg white, beaten
  6. Optional: your favourite seasoning e.g sesame, everything bagel seasoning, poppy seed..)

Cooking Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place parchment paper on the baking sheet. Spray oil to avoid bagel sticking.

2. In a bowl, combine and mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt and mix well.

3. On a clean work surface, dust some flour and remove dough from bowl. Knead the dough several times, approx 15-20 turns. The dough should not be sticky.

4. Divide the dough into 5 balls. Roll the ball into thick rope about 3/4 thick and connect the two ends to make the dough into a circular shape.

5. Use a brush to brush the egg white on bagel surface. Sprinkle your favourite seasoning. Bake on top rack for 25 mins. Let it cool before cutting.

I love eating the bagel when it’s fresh out of the oven. You can eat it with butter alone, or with cream cheese. Add eggs or piece of cheese!

Let me know how yours turn out!!
