    Garlic Herb Two Ingredient Dough Bagels recipe requires 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!

    Two Ingredient Dough Bagels Recipe Tips and FAQs

    1) How can I make self-rising flour?

    For one cup of self-rising flour, whisk together one cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

    2) What brand of plain Greek yogurt should I use? Use whatever kind is available at your local grocery store. I’ve made two ingredient dough with Fage, Oikos, and the store brand and haven’t noticed a difference.

    3) Do you have to use plain, fat-free, Greek yogurt? No, you can use fat-free, full fat, 2% or 5%. For the sake of these two ingredient dough recipes, I used the fat-free kind.

    4) My dough is too sticky. What should I do? Knead in a little more flour at a time until it is workable.

    5) Can I make these two ingredient dough bagels without a stand mixer? Yes! Stir the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt together until combined. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.

    6) I don’t have a dough hook for my mixer. How can I make the garlic herb two ingredient bagels dough? Use the paddle attachment on your mixer to combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth.

    7) What other seasonings/toppings would you suggest? Try my recipe for everything bagel seasoning, or use garlic and rosemary, parmesan cheese, asiago cheese, onion flakes, poppy seeds, or cinnamon sugar.

    8) How many Weight Watchers Smart Points are these bagels (without the cream cheese of course)? I don’t have a Weight Watchers calculator but from what I’ve read online if you make six bagels from the two ingredient dough (like this recipe does) they are 2 smart points each.

      My bagels did not bake through to the inside They were cooled completely before cut open but we’re still gummy and very SOUR tasting. Why? Does old baking powder make it not rise and be gummy and or make it sour?

        Since baking powder is the only leavener it is essential for the dough to rise. I’m not sure what old baking powder tastes like but Greek yogurt is definitely sour. I’m wondering if your dough was maybe too wet or if you needed to bake them longer. For now, I would suggest slicing the bagels you made in half and toasting them. See if that helps finish the centers.

      Made these today finally and OMG they are so delicious! The dough was a little stickier than I expected but the extra flour on the board helped. These will definitely be made regularly around here. Thanks!

      I’m currently doing weight watchers and do have the calculator; however, the nutritional information is missing the saturated fat, sugars, and protein in order for me to be able to accurately calculate the points. Can you please provide this information? Many thanks!!!

        Hello Marisela,
        The protein is listed above as 6 grams but the saturated fat and sugars aren’t showing up because they are both zero.
        Enjoy!

      It may not be just two ingredients but these bagels are worth it!
      Without yeast, I never knew there was self-rising flour existing until now.
      Thank you for the wonderful tips, I think I would make mine with rosemary and parmesan cheese!
