No-Yeast No-Boil Bagels
I know this recipe boasts a lot of miracles like no-yeast and no-boil and I know that some New York Bagel enthusiasts might think this recipe is blasphemous, but let me just state that I know all this already and am 100% in agreement that this is not a traditional bagel. I’ll be the first to admit it. Nothing beats a classic bagel because, when done right, it can be extraordinary and out of this world!
These No-Yeast No-Boil Bagels however, are perfect for when you get a craving but don’t have the time, energy or maybe just don’t have yeast at home. They totally get the job done. Before you write them off though, I urge you to give them a try and let me know what you think. But let’s just say you are one of those bagel traditionalists, then I’ve got you covered because these New York Bagels from the blog archives are still my go-to bagel recipe. Or if you’re looking for something else outside the box, perhaps these bagel doughnuts or bagel cookies will satisfy you?
No-Yeast No-Boil Bagels
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixer
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 3/4 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg beaten with a splash of water
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the yogurt and mix with the dough hook attachment until the dough comes together. Knead on medium speed until it becomes soft and only slightly sticky, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead a few times to create a smooth ball of dough. Cut into six even pieces. Working with one piece at a time, adding more flour as needed, roll each into a thick log, about 10 to 12 inches in length and then form into a circle, pinching the ends together. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and continue shaping the remaining dough pieces.
- Brush the bagels with egg wash and top with the Everything Bagel seasoning or desired toppings. Bake until golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before slicing, toasting and serving. Enjoy!
