Easy Bagels

I found this recipe on Skinnytaste.com.  My sister makes awesome jalapeno bagels.  When you want a fresh bagel and your sister doesn't have jalapeno plants in the off season, you get desperate.    I added the jalapeno and a bit of cheese to try to get close to hers, but the recipe was for plain with an everything seasoning on top.  You can really do whatever suits you.  Sesame seed, maybe a few chocolate chips, just cheese, whatever.

Easy Bagels

5 oz. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking powder
3/4 t. kosher salt (a little less if using regular salt)
1 c. plain greek yogurt (be sure to use greek, otherwise it is too runny.  For me, 1 cup was  two of the 5.3oz chobani size yogurt)
beaten egg white



Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil so they don't stick.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the yogurt and mix with a fork until it is combined in small crumbles.

Add any extras, like diced jalapenos.

Dust a work surface lightly with flour and knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, about 15 turns or so.

Divide the dough in 4 equal balls.  Roll each into a 3/4 inch rope and form in a circle, joining the ends.

Place each round on the baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with cheese now if you'd like.

Bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.

Let cool at least 10 minutes before eating.  If you can wait that long.
