Greek Yogurt Bagels with Asiago

I like simple, quick baking that tastes great.

introduction

This recipe makes soft, cheesy bagels using Greek yogurt and a little asiago cheese. If you want another easy bake-and-serve idea, try this chicken parmesan with Alfredo sauce recipe as a main to go with these bagels.

why make this recipe

You get a quick bagel with few ingredients. No yeast, no long rise. It is good for busy mornings and small ovens. The asiago adds a sharp, savory top. The dough is soft and easy to shape.

how to make Greek Yogurt Bagels with Asiago

You mix the flour and baking powder (if needed) with Greek yogurt to make a soft dough. Knead cheese into the dough, shape into rings, brush with egg, and bake until golden. Follow the full ingredient list and directions below for exact amounts and times.

Ingredients :

• 2 cups self rising flour (*or mix 2 cups of all purpose flour with 3 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt!)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese

Directions :

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

2. Either add the self rising flour to a large bowl or mix your the flour/baking powder/salt together. Add more salt and the greek yogurt and stir together until a dough starts to form.

3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured counter or cutting board. I usually can’t get all of the flour to stick in the bowl, so make sure you add it all on top of the dough when you transfer it so you can knead it all in. At this time, add about 2-3 tbsp of your shredded asiago cheese to the dough. Knead it all together for about 5 minutes, until it forms a nice ball.

4. Divide that into 8 equal parts. Roll each portion into a smooth rope and then connect the two ends to create a circular bagel. (I do a mix of a pinch and roll so the ends stay connected!) Repeat this with all 8 parts.

5. Place each bagel on the parchment paper.

6. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush on each bagel. Sprinkle the remaining asiago cheese on top of the bagels. (If you want to use more cheese or less on top, go for it!)

7. Bake for 24 minutes, rotating halfway through the bake. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to, 425. Bake for another 2-3 minutes or until the tops have browned.

how to serve Greek Yogurt Bagels with Asiago

Serve warm or at room temperature. Split and toast lightly for sandwiches. They go well with cream cheese, butter, smoked salmon, or a fried egg. The asiago makes them great with savory spreads.

how to store Greek Yogurt Bagels with Asiago

Let cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven until warm.

tips to make Greek Yogurt Bagels with Asiago

• Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture.
• If dough feels sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
• Press ends firmly when forming bagels so they do not open while baking.
• Brush the egg wash evenly to help cheese stick and brown well.
• Rotate the sheet midway for even browning.

variation (if any)

• Add herbs: mix 1 tsp dried rosemary or oregano into the dough.
• Use cheddar or parmesan instead of asiago for a different sharpness.
• Add seeds: sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds with the cheese on top.

FAQs

Q: Can I use full-fat Greek yogurt?
A: Yes. Full-fat works fine and gives a richer flavor.

Q: Can I make fewer bagels with the same recipe?
A: Yes. Divide the dough into 4 or 6 pieces for larger bagels, and watch the bake time.

Q: Do I need to boil these bagels before baking?
A: No. This quick recipe skips boiling and still gives a soft, chewy result.

Q: Can I skip the egg wash?
A: You can, but the tops will brown less and the cheese may not stick as well.

Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: Tops should be golden brown. Tap the bottom; it should sound slightly hollow.
