Bagels are something we South Africans watched on American television shows…it isn’t very popular in our country but it makes for such a quick & delicious breakfast, brunch or even a snack! These 2 Ingredient Bagels are ready in no time & can be enjoyed with any fillings of your choice.

Usually, bagels are prepared with yeast as with any other fluffy breads but this simple 2 ingredient recipe does not use yeast & trust me they are just as delicious. Another addition to preparing bagels the old-fashioned way is to boil the dough in water before baking – this to me seems time consuming & you’ve guessed it – this recipe doesn’t call for that either!

 

2 Ingredient Bagels Ingredients:

• 2 cups self raising flour
• 2 cups plain yoghurt
• milk for brushing (optional)
• bagel seasoning (optional)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180° Celsius or 356° Fahrenheit.
2. Bring out a baking pan & line it with baking or parchment paper.
3. 
4. To a mixing bowl, add in the self raising flour.
5. 
6. If you do not have self raising flour, simply use 2 cups of cake flour or all purpose flour & 4 teaspoons of baking powder.
7. 
8. Add in the yoghurt.
9. 
10. Use a spoon & combine the flour & yoghurt.

12. Thereafter, go in with clean hands & bring the dough together. The dough should be a bit tacky.

15. 
16. Place the dough onto the working surface & dust more flour over.
17. 
18. Knead for about 3 minutes until the dough isn’t as sticky. Add more flour if needed.
19. 
20. Using a knife or a scraper, divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
21. 
22. Working with one portion at a time, dust flour onto a surface & coat the piece of dough in the flour.
23. 
24. Thereafter roll the dough in the palm of your hands until it forms into a ball.
25. 
26. Next, use your finger to poke a hole in the middle of the dough.
27.

29.

47. 
48. When you slice them open, you will see how fluffy & soft these bagels are.
