Garlic Herb Bagels Two Ingredient Dough

Super easy Garlic Herb Bagels Recipe made with two ingredient dough. No yeast and no waiting for the dough to rise! These chewy bagels are perfect toasted with cream cheese for breakfast or fill them with meat and cheese for a sandwich at lunch.

Two ingredient bagels have become wildly popular because not only are they easy to make they are low in Weight Watchers Smart Points since plain, fat-free Greek yogurt is one of the zero points foods on the freestyle program.

When I heard about two ingredient bagels I felt a little cheated by the name because although they technically only have two ingredients, one of the ingredients is self-rising flour which is a combination of flour, baking powder, and salt and that is three ingredients.

Also, if you want to give the bagels a crustier, golden top the bagels need an egg wash as another ingredient. And of course, we all love bagels with flavor so the garlic herb seasoning brings the ingredient list up even more.

But in the end, I decided I didn’t really care about the exact number of ingredients. These delicious garlic herb bagels are so easy to make with no waiting for the dough to rise and no boiling the bagels before baking. I’m going to keep making them no matter what they are called!

How To Make Garlic Herb Bagels

Step One:

Put self-rising flour and plain, fat-free Greek yogurt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment.

Step Two:

Mix at a low speed until combined.

Then, knead at a medium speed for about 3 minutes until a ball forms.

Step Three:

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.

Sprinkle the top with flour, knead a couple of times, and form the dough into a ball.

Cut the dough ball into six wedges.

Step Four:

Roll the dough wedges into long ropes.

Step Five:

Join the ends of the rope together to form a bagel shape.

Place on a parchment covered baking sheet.

If you want to make two ingredient bagels, this is where you would stop and bake the bagels. But if you want them to be garlic herb bagels, continue to step six.

Step Six:

Brush the bagels with a beaten egg white.

Step Seven:

Sprinkle the bagels with garlic herb seasoning.

Step Eight:

Bake at 475˚F for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.

Slice the still warm bagels in half and spread with cream cheese. Or allow the garlic herb bagels to cool. Then, slice and toast before spreading with cream cheese.
