FAQs

Q: Can I use plain flour instead of self-rising flour?
A: Yes, but add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt per cup of plain flour to mimic self-rising flour.

Q: Can I skip the egg wash?
A: Yes. The bagels will still bake well but may not be as shiny or deep brown.

Q: How do I make the bagels less dense?
A: Knead the dough until smooth and do not add too much extra flour. Also shape them with even thickness so they bake evenly.

Q: Can I use non-dairy yogurt?
A: Non-dairy yogurt may change texture and protein content. It can work, but results may be softer and less chewy.

Q: How many bagels does this recipe make?
A: Small to medium bagels: about 4 bagels, depending on how you divide the dough.
