FAQs
Q: Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising?
A: Yes. Use 1 cup all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
Q: Are these bagels dense like traditional bagels?
A: No. They are softer and lighter because they do not boil or use yeast. They are quick and more like a dense roll.
Q: Can I make more than four bagels?
A: Yes. If you want smaller bagels, divide the dough into more pieces and reduce bake time by a few minutes.
Q: Can I use full-fat Greek yogurt?
A: Yes. Full-fat yogurt works, but dough may be slightly richer and softer.
Q: How do I reheat frozen bagels?
A: Toast slices directly from frozen or warm whole bagel in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes.
