Why are my greek yogurt bagels too dense?

This usually happens when too much flour is added during kneading—I recommend adding just enough flour to make the dough manageable, keeping it slightly sticky. For an ultra-light, protein-rich option, try our easy 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bagels —they’re practically foolproof.

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

I always stick with plain Greek yogurt because flavored varieties contain added sugars that can affect the texture and browning of your bagels. If you're craving fruity flavors, check out our vibrant Strawberry Bagels Recipe or classic Blueberry Bagel Recipe for real fruit flavor done right.

How do I know when the bagels are fully cooked?

Look for a golden-brown color on top and tap the bottom—properly baked Greek yogurt bagels will sound hollow and feel firm to the touch. You can use this doneness check on other chewy favorites like our Cinnamon Raisin Bagels or festive Pumpkin Bagels .

Can I make these bagels without eggs?

You can skip the egg wash, though your bagels won't have that beautiful golden shine—they'll still taste delicious and have the same great texture inside.
