sesame seedspoppy seeds, or Everything But the Bagel seasoning
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large mixing bowl, add the 1 cup self-rising flour and the 1 cup Zero Fat Greek Yogurt. Using your hand or spatula, mix until a dough is formed.
Sprinkle some flour over a cutting board or any flat surface. Pour the dough over it. The dough will be a bit sticky. You may need to add a bit of flour on your hands to handle the dough. Or some pam spray.
Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll out each one to form a mini log. Form a circle with it and combine each end to form a round bagel.
Essentially, you could simply roll the dough into a ball and, using your finger, create a hole in the middle.
If using egg wash, brush each bagel with some egg wash (from one Egg) and sprinkle with whatever toppings you are using like sesame seeds.
Place the bagels over a sheet pan lined up with parchment paper and bake them at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until they are browned. Enjoy.

Notes
Flour: Use self-rising flour if possible. If you do not have self-rising flour, then use 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Yogurt: Do not use plain yogurt. It has a lot more moisture than Greek Yogurt. If you do, you would have to adjust the amount of flour you are using. Start with 1 Cup and gradually add 2 tablespoons at a time to make sure it's not too sticky to handle.
All ovens vary. At 350F ours needed 25 minutes. It may take anywhere between 25-32 minutes until they turn golden brown.
Toppings are optional and do not add any calories. Like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything but the bagel seasonings.
Egg wash. This will help achieve that golden top and allow the seasonings to stick to the bagel. You can use a small amount of melted butter instead.
