Okay total bagel lover here, and this 2 ingredient dough concept is a total life changer!

I know I’m a bit late to the game – everyone was already on this over the summer – but I guess this is just me. Unintentionally attempting to revive these trends 6 months later.

Maybe I should actually do it more intentionally though coz I don’t think people would save my posts – on Instagram that is – if everyone’s making it already. I.e. what is the need to save it when they can find it on every second post?

But then I guess not too many people would be making a healthy and whole grain version of the bagels so there’s that.

Either way, I was so happy with how these turned out, I don’t really even want to get the store-bought ones anymore! No guilt of bad grains or excess sodium!

Ingredients for the Healthy Whole Wheat Bagel Recipe

The 2 ingredient dough for this recipe is based off the weight watchers recipe that uses self rising flour and yogurt, but is a healthy version since it’s made with whole grain instead.

Whole Wheat Flour + Baking Powder to make a whole wheat self rising flour – so I guess these are 3 ingredient bagels
You can replace the whole wheat with regular all purpose flour or use store bought self rising flour.

Greek Yogurt – the ingredient number 2 here. I used Non-fat Greek Yogurt, but other fat content would work well too.
DO NOT USE NATURAL YOGURT; the dough will be too sticky, and also won’t rise. Adding more flour in an attempt to fix the consistency won’t work either.
You can use Coconut Yogurt instead to make 2 ingredient bagels Vegan and dairy free.

A bit of Salt

How to make 2 Ingredient Whole Wheat Bagels without Yeast

The best and most easy part about this recipe is that the dough for these whole wheat bagels uses baking powder and no yeast. So you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise or any other such lengthy process.

Make Whole Wheat 2 Ingredient Dough with Greek Yogurt

This greek yogurt bagel recipe is the quickest process you can come across:

Start with preheating your oven to 425°F.

Mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

Add in the Greek Yogurt and use a large spoon to mix them and form a rough ball of dough. There will still be flour, but it’s okay.

Lightly flour a work surface, transfer the dough over to the surface and knead it to form a dough.
Continue until the yogurt and flour are just combined.

Don’t over-mix or the bagels will be too tough.

Roll the whole wheat bagel dough

Cut the dough into 4 pieces – use a sharp knife here.

Roll the dough balls into logs about 7-8 inches long – lightly flour your hands so the dough doesn’t stick.

Make a ring – the toris shape of a bagel; Overlap the ends here and pinch them together.

Place the bagels on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Egg wash (and Why to put Egg Wash on Bagels)

Whisk an egg and brush it onto the surface of the bagels.
The reason you use egg wash before baking bagels is to get that glossy golden brown color and also so that the toppings stick.

Sprinkle on your choice of toppings – I used my homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning, poppy seeds and minded onion for different bagel options.

Make baked bagels with no boiling

Bake for 20 minutes; The tops should have that golden brown color.

Let those bagels cool for at least 20-30 minutes before you eat or store them for later.

How to store Whole Wheat Homemade Bagels

You want to store these 2 ingredient whole wheat bagels on the countertop or in the freezer – don’t keep them in the fridge since it will make them go stale faster.

To store homemade bagels on the countertop:

Let the bagels cool completely and then put them in a sealed plastic bag; They should keep on the counter top for 1-3 days.

Freeze your fresh baked bagels!

Again, let the bagels cool completely before putting them away. Then place the bagels in freezer-safe zipper bags and freeze immediately; They’re perfectly freezer friendly will stay fresh for even 2-3 months.

Thaw your frozen bagels and them serve them like you normally would, and you have a great make ahead breakfast.

Best way to serve these Healthy Whole Wheat Bagels

There’s so so many things you can do with bagels – toasts, sandwiches, or even just plain. Here’s some of my favorites:

Go for the classic: Toasted bagels with Cream Cheese! I’d recommend reduced fat.
Bagels and Butter – Like buttered toast, but better.
Bagels with Hummus! Again, toasted these bagels and had them with my homemade healthy hummus that’s also made with Greek Yogurt!
Bagel Avocado Toast?
Ot maybe just a breakfast sandwich
