I’ll admit: I was skeptical that a make-at-home bagel with Greek yogurt as the main ingredient would be edible AND that I would be able to bake them on my own.
So I was SHOCKED when they were actually delicious. And easy! And the recipe only calls for 6 ingredients and no special equipment. #winning!
Even my 6-year-old daughter said ‘these are the best everything bagels I’ve ever had! you made these?!’
Like I mentioned earlier, the main ingredient in these bagels is fa*gE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt, which means they have a ton more protein than the average bagel – an easy way to sneak it in if you have a picky child.
fa*gE Total 0% Plain Greek yogurt has no added sugar, is made with milk from non-GMO fed cows, and packs 18 grams of protein in one 6oz cup.
The original Skinnytaste Bagel recipe can be found here – along with variations to make them gluten-free or dairy-free.
I followed the original Skinnytaste bagel recipe to a T and shared it below!
2 teaspoons baking powder (if it’s expired it won’t rise)
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 egg white, beaten (for the bagel ‘wash’ to get the seasoning to stick)
Everything Bagel Seasoning – or you could totally improvise this and use poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion flakes, etc.
Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – spray it with oil so the bagels don’t stick.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork – it will look like small crumbles at first, NOT like a ball of dough.
Lightly dust flour on your work surface and knead the dough until it’s tacky but not sticky. Honestly, I think mine was a little too sticky but the bagels turned out awesome so don’t let that deter you.
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch thick ‘ropes’ and form bagels – see pic below.
Use a silicone brush to wet the bagel with the egg white wash and press the bagel into a plate of the bagel seasoning. I did both sides of the bagels AND the sides because you can never have too much Everything bagel seasoning.
Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes – I checked on mine several times starting at 20 minutes but 25 minutes was spot on. Let them cool before you cut them.

This blend is a divine mixture of black and white sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, sea salt flakes and poppy seeds. The concoction's salty, savory flavors are reminiscent of your favorite bagel variety but jive with a lot more than the crusts of white bread.
The standard combination of toppings on an everything bagel is as follows: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt. Some may add in black sesame and cracked pepper, too. The result is a supremely flavorful bite, a complex nutty flavor, and an exquisite extra crunch (and usually a ton of crumbs.)
Despite its sodium content, everything seasoning is a healthy addition to any meal. It contains seeds and dehydrated vegetables, both of which are rich in hardy fibers, healthy fats, and an array of vitamins and minerals.
The poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and salt always come together to taste like something so much more than just bread with a hole in the middle. Keep reading to see where I get my favorite everything bagels around KC.
When using it on store-bought bagels, first brush the top of the bagel with a very thin layer of water, then sprinkle with everything bagel spice. The water is essential for the spice mix to stick to the bagels.
Ingredients: Poppy Seeds, Garlic, Sea Salt, Sesame & Onion. Shelf Life: 1-2 years. Spices really do not go bad but do loose their potency over time as a result of loosing their essential oils and drying out.
Unopened, a high-quality Everything Bagel Seasoning can last for about 2-3 years past the printed date on the package. Once opened, the quality will be best within 6 months to a year, but if stored properly, it can last 1-2 years.
Bread flour – Because of its high protein content, bread flour makes these homemade bagels delightfully chewy. This recipe also works with all-purpose flour, they're just a bit less chewy than bagels made with bread flour.
a regular bagel is the water you boil them in. Much like a specific vineyard terroir is used to make a wine, certain minerals in New York City tap water are attributed to creating the best bagels. These include low concentrations of calcium and magnesium and a high level of sediment.
This simple (yet exemplary) blend of sesame seeds (white and black), poppy seeds, dried garlic & onion, and sea salt flakes is all you need for bringing that crunchy, roasted, savory flavor to grilled chicken, buttered popcorn, baked potatoes, creamy dips, pizza dough, salad dressings, pasta, mac & cheese, or panko- ...
A mix of black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds makes this seasoning blend visually striking, but if you can't find both, just one will work here too. Poppy seeds – For crunch! Dried minced garlic and onion – They add lots of garlicky, oniony flavor.
After all, it's a bagel covered in poppy seeds, sesame seeds, minced onions, minced garlic, and salt. In short, it sounds like someone simply dumped a spice cupboard over a bagel to see what would happen. In fact, David Gussin argues that is exactly how he invented the everything bagel in 1980.
Poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, and sea salt. These five ingredients aren't necessarily the heroes of the spice world, but in the bagel reality, they are enough. In fact, they are everything. Mixed together, they revolutionized the bagel world sometime in the early 1980s.
