Two Ingredient Bagels come together so easily; it is simply a matter of grabbing a bowl, adding some self rising flour and some yogurt, and mixing the two together.
After you have combined the two, you will want to place a small amount of dough on to the counter and knead the bagel dough together for about 4-5 minutes.
Two ingredient bagels are a great way to start the day and they have a sour dough taste, which comes from using the yogurt.

How Do I Make Two Ingredient Bagels?
Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make these bagels (scroll down for the full recipe):
Bagels:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, place the flour, then add the yogurt, and mix together with a wooden spoon.
- If the dough seems too dry, add just a bit more yogurt, until the dough is all combined, (the dough will be slightly tacky).
- Then place the dough out onto a floured surface.
- Knead the dough for about 4-5 minutes, adding flour if needed.
- When the dough is nice and smooth, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. (I use a pizza cutter).
- Take each piece and and roll them into balls.
- In the center of each ball poke your thumb through making a hole.
- Place each bagel onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking sheet.
- It will make 8 bagels and they will be about 1/2 the size of the bagels that you purchase.
Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the egg, salt, and the water.
- Wash the bagels with the mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the bagels from the oven and the turn the oven to 450 degrees.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bagels are nice and brown.
- We enjoy the bagels fresh out of the oven, or store any reaming bagels in a baggy for 3-4 days.
- Spread cream cheese or butter on your bagel.
What is Kneading?
- Kneading is when you work the dough, adding flour or more moisture, and putting air into the dough, and is usually done by hand.
- Also kneading the dough, is for developing the gluten in the flour, which give the bread its texture and shape.
What Is A Bagel?
- A Bagel is a doughnut-shaped yeast-leavened roll that is characterized by a crisp, shiny crust and a dense interior.
- Long regarded as a Jewish specialty item, the bagel is commonly eaten as a breakfast food or snack, often with toppings such as cream cheese.
Things You Can Add To Two Ingredient Bagels:
- You may want to top your bagel with cinnamon.
- Try adding some nut butters or even some jam.
- You could also try adding some cheese on top when you take the bagels out of the oven. They are hot enough that the cheese will melt if you add it right away.

We are SO making these!!! This is right up my kid’s alley and with it being 2 ingredients?!!! Awesome
I love that these have only 2 ingredients, making them easier to make. Like all dough bread they do take a bit of effort, but it would be a great recipe to make with your kids.
This is awesome! I love bagels, and with only two ingredients, and not having to let it sit to rise (this always intimidates me), this seems like an easy recipe to try out.
I love this 2 ingredient recipe. My married children love it too. It seems that when it comes to cooking they love anything that makes cooking easier.
