04 - Divide dough into 4 equal portions, roll each into a rope approximately 7 to 8 inches long, then shape each into a bagel by pinching ends together.
05 - Place shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Brush the tops of each bagel evenly with the beaten egg.
07 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over each bagel.
08 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until bagels are golden brown and fully cooked.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No yeast, no rise time, no overnight planning required—just 35 minutes from bowl to plate.
  • The Greek yogurt keeps these bagels impossibly soft while the everything seasoning makes them taste like the bakery version costs half the effort.
  • You'll finally understand why people get excited about homemade bagels instead of settling for the grocery store.
02 -
  • Don't knead this dough like you're making bread—too much work will make it tough and dense, and you'll lose that soft, tender crumb.
  • If your Greek yogurt is too wet, the dough will be stickier, so add flour a pinch at a time if needed, but resist over-flouring or you'll end up with dense bagels.
  • The egg wash is essential—it's what makes the seasoning stick and gives you that bakery-style finish instead of a bagel that looks homemade in the sad way.
03 -
  • Don't stress about perfect bagel shape—a slightly wonky bagel still tastes amazing and actually looks more homemade in the good way.
  • If you can't find everything bagel seasoning, mixing sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt is surprisingly close and feels like you discovered a secret.
