Whip up a batch of these soft, chewy mini bagels in your favorite flavor! Ready in under 30 minutes and using just 2 ingredients, you’ll have fresh bagels whenever you get the craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (recipe)
  • Toppings as desired (optional)
  • 1 egg, whisked (optional)

Self-rising Flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. Combine the yogurt and self-rising flour mixture in a large mixing bowl (aim for one size larger than you think you need) and mix together using your hands, until the dough is mostly smooth. A stand mixer with a dough hook is overkill for this recipe. 
  3. Using a dough scraper or a knife, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Divide each piece into 4 equal pieces again.
  4. Lightly flour your working surface (I HIGHLY recommend using a Silpat mat for this). Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll the dough on the mat in a back-and-forth motion until you have a rope about 5-6 inches in length.
  5. Shape the dough into a bagel, wrapping each end over the other and tucking the ends underneath the bagel. Leave a bigger hole than you think you need, as the dough will expand while baking and mostly fill the hole in. Place the shaped bagel minis onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (I use these USA baking sheets).
  6. Brush the top of the bagel with egg (if desired) and top with desired toppings (optional). The egg wash isn’t necessary, but it does give bagels their signature shiny brown tops, and it helps any optional toppings stick to the bagel dough.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on a cooling rack and enjoy!

Notes

Variations for Bagel Minis

Note: If you want to add flavors, you’ll add those ingredients before you divide and shape the dough.

If you want a sweet variety, I recommend:

  • Cinnamon Raisin mini bagels (2 Tablespoons of cinnamon + ¼ cup raisins)
  • Chocolate Chip (2-3 Tablespoons of chocolate chips)
  • Blueberry (2-3 Tablespoons of dehydrated blueberries)

And for those who like savory bagels:

  • Jalapeño Cheddar (¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese + 2 Tablespoons of diced jalapeños)
  • Everything Bagels (2 Tablespoons of “Everything Bagel” seasoning, sprinkled over the top before baking)
  • Sesame (1-2 Tablespoons of white or black sesame seeds, sprinkled over the top before baking)
  • Onion (2 Tablespoons of dried minced onion mixed into the dough + 1 Tablespoon sprinkled over the top before baking)
  • Asiago (¼ cup shredded asiago cheese, sprinkled over the top halfway through baking)
