Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour (ensure it’s vegan-friendly)
- 1 cup plain unsweetened non-dairy yogurt (such as soy, coconut, or almond-based yogurt)
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Oven
- Optional: cooling rack
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine the dry and wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of self-rising flour. Add 1 cup of plain unsweetened non-dairy yogurt gradually. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.
- Knead the dough: Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough gently in the bowl or on a clean surface for 1-2 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic.
- Divide and shape: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Then, poke your thumb through the center of each ball and gently stretch to form a bagel shape with a hole about 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch. The bottoms should be lightly browned as well.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack if available. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Variations
“For extra flavor, add garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs to the flour before mixing. You can also roll the bagels in sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning before baking for that classic look and taste!”
- Flavor Boost: Mix in cinnamon and raisins for a sweet version.
- Seed Toppings: Brush bagels lightly with plant-based milk and sprinkle with seeds before baking.
- Thickness: If you prefer denser bagels, reduce yogurt to ¾ cup and add a splash of water if needed.
- Storage: Store bagels in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Yogurt Options: Coconut yogurt creates a slightly sweeter bagel, while soy yogurt keeps it neutral.
