Back in April I found the best make-at-home bagel recipe that was good and clean! One of my new favorite wellness friends @badash.fitness shared the recipe. I have made it a handful of times for my family and they have loved it! My first few go’s with it have been using gluten free flour which works perfectly! Today I am using regular all purpose flour and the recipe came together without fail.

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour (gluten free works well too) + 1 tbsp
1 cup non-fat greek yogurt
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 block of cream cheese
bagel seasoning of choice (I used everything)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
2. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl. Add yogurt and mix until well combined and a dough starts to form. You may need to add a little more flour to make sure it isn’t too sticky.
3. Cut the cream cheese into 1 inch cubes.
4. Flour your hands and pull apart small sections of the dough (it should make 11-12 bites). Flatten the dough in your hand and place the cream cheese cub inside. Cover the cream cheese with the dough and roll into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is used. *Make sure to keep your hands floured as things could get a little sticky.
5. Beat 1 egg and use a brush to coat the top of all the dough balls. Sprinkle your favorite seasoning on the top until they are all coated.
6. Cook at 375 for 24 mins until golden brown on top.
7. Enjoy!!
