• If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.

variation (if any)

• Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for a slightly sweet bagel.

FAQs

Q: Can I use nonfat Greek yogurt?
A: Yes. Nonfat yogurt works, but bagels may be slightly drier. You can add a bit more yogurt if the dough feels too dry.

Q: Can I make more than four bagels?
A: Yes. Divide the dough into more pieces for smaller bagels. Watch the bake time and reduce it by a few minutes.

Q: Do I need to boil these bagels before baking?
A: No. This recipe skips boiling. The bagels bake directly and still get a nice crust.

Q: Can I use a gluten-free flour?
A: You can try a gluten-free blend, but texture may change. Use a blend made for baking and expect a different chew.

Q: How do I reheat frozen bagels?
A: Toast from frozen or warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes.
