  • No boiling needed: Unlike traditional bagels, these skip the water bath step entirely.
  • Customizable: Perfect canvas for your favorite toppings and flavor variations.
  • Beginner-friendly: Simple ingredients and straightforward steps make this accessible for any skill level.
02 -
  • Use non-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for the best protein-to-fat ratio and dough consistency.
  • Don't skip the egg wash—it creates that signature bagel sheen and helps the seasoning stick.
  • For uniform bagels, weigh your dough portions on a kitchen scale (each should be about 80 grams).
  • Check your baking powder freshness: it should fizz when mixed with water for proper rise.
  • Store everything bagel seasoning in an airtight container to keep it fresh and aromatic.
