Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and ground cinnamon thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Add Yogurt and Form Dough: Add the plain Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
- Incorporate Raisins and Knead: Fold in the raisins gently, then turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope and connect the ends to form classic bagel shapes.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny, golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to enjoy the best texture and flavors.
Notes
- To make your own self-rising flour, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the bagels and thaw before serving.
