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?

Q: How many bagels does this recipe make?
