Let’s dive into the full recipe and step-by-step method to make these flavorful mini bagel treats.

🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (thick, strained type preferred)

For the Filling (optional):

• 4 oz (about ½ cup) cream cheese, softened

For the Topping:

• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

🌿 Optional Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning Mix

If you’d like to make your own mix at home, combine:

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
• 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt

Mix well and store in an airtight jar—it’s perfect not just for bagels but also for eggs, avocado toast, and roasted veggies!

🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
2. Add the Greek yogurt and stir with a spoon or spatula until the mixture starts to come together.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
   • If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.
   • If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of yogurt at a time until pliable.

This simple dough mimics a traditional yeast bagel without the need for rising or proofing—making it perfect for quick homemade bagels or bits!

🧀 Step 2: Add the Cream Cheese Filling (Optional but Delicious)

1. Divide the dough into 12–14 equal pieces.
2. Flatten each piece into a small circle, about 2–3 inches wide.
3. Place about ½ teaspoon of softened cream cheese in the center of each circle.
4. Gently pinch the edges together to seal and roll into a smooth ball, ensuring no filling leaks out.

The creamy center gives each bite that signature bagel-with-cream-cheese experience in a single mouthful.
