Bagels are a staple food in many parts of the world. The round-shaped bread delight can be had as is, or paired with a number of interesting toppings. The most popular combination is sesame-sprinkled bagels with cream cheese – a dish which has received its own emoji too.
Bagels can be easily whipped up at home, and if Australia-based nutritionist Savina Rego is to be believed, all you need is just two simple ingredients- self-rising flour and plain yogurt.
The two-ingredient bagels recipe shared by Savina Rego involved combining plain, fat-free yogurt with regular self-rising flour. A crumbly dough was thus formed with the ingredients, which was kneaded and rolled to form the bagels. The bagels can be optionally brushed with a beaten egg for best results.
Here’s the full recipe for 2 ingredient Bagels:

1 cup plain yoghurt (MUST be fat free yoghurt)
1 cup regular or gluten-free self-rising flour + extra for dusting onto surface
TOPPINGS
Egg, beaten (optional)
Seasoning of choice (sesame seeds/poppy seeds/everything but the bagel, bagel seasoning)
METHOD
1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a tray with baking paper.
2) In a large bowl combine the self-rising flour and yoghurt until a dough starts to form (the dough will be crumbly).
3) Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until dough forms. Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
4) Roll out the dough to form a ‘rope’ and pinch the ends together to make a circle. You will have 4 bagels.
5) Brush the bagels with egg (optional) and sprinkle with your preferred seasoning.
6) Bake for 15-20 minutes
Happy Baking!
