The Secret to 2 Ingredient Bagels
So what is the secret to making 2 ingredient WW bagels? Self rising flour and Greek yogurt! That’s IT!!
By combining self rising flour and fat free Greek yogurt, you are rewarded with this amazing easy homemade bagel recipe that tastes crazy good!
Nonfat Greek yogurt is a zero point food on the WW program and is packed with protein. Combine that with self rising flour, you have a low point bagel without sacrificing any of the taste.
We all know how hard it is to cut out the heavy carbs and the sugar and the processed food. These WW bagels take some of that difficulty out of your hands.
Besides, do you have in your house what I have in MY house? A super picky eater that refuses to try anything remotely close to a healthy alternative to their favorite food?
Yup! Got one of those a.k.a. my hubby, Big Scary Mike.
Let’s just say that I served up these 2 ingredient bagels to him without telling him they were WW bagels and he LOVED them!! That right there tells me these are a keeper!
Why You Need These Bagels!
- These are guiltless bagels. With so many people at home right now, these are a great way to indulge a bit without stacking on extra weight.
- 2 ingredient bagels are easy to make, made with only two ingredients and ready to bake in 5 minutes.
- Completely customizeable. You can easily transform these WW bagels into your favorite bagel flavor.
- These WW bagels taste amazing.. so chewy, doughy and delicious you don’t even feel like you are eating a healthier alternative to regular bagels.
To make these 2 ingredient bagels, you will need:
- Self rising flour
- Fat free Greek Yogurt
- Egg (optional)
- Favorite bagel toppings (optional)
These are two ingredient bagels (flour and yogurt) but I like to brush on a bit of egg wash before I bake mine and then I like toppings.
If you want to call them four ingredient bagels because of that, go ahead but really …. still just two ingredients to make the actual bagels 🙂
How to Make 2 Ingredient Bagels
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking pan with non-stick spray or line with a sheet of parchment paper.
Combine self rising flour and fat free Greek yogurt together in large mixing bowl until a loose dough is formed.
Turn bagel dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands (flour them too!), lightly knead a bit then divide your dough into four equal portions.
Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll each portion out into a rope, approximately 8″ long.
Pinch together the ends of your rope to form a circle, repeat with all four pieces and now you have made four bagels.
Transfer your bagels to your prepared baking pan and lightly brush with egg wash.
Add any toppings you like (or none!) and bake for 23 minutes.
Turn on the broiler and broil for additional 2 minutes, carefully keeping an eye on them so they don’t get too dark.
Remove and serve immediately.
Pro Tips for Perfect WW bagels
- This dough is sticky! Don’t forget to lightly sprinkle your work surface and your hands.
- Don’t roll your dough rope too long or too thin. You will get flat little weird looking bagels. Trust me! (palm slap!)
- Not following a Weight Watcher plan? Substitute the fat free Greek yogurt with any kind of Greek yogurt you prefer.
- Feel free to stir in any additions to your bagel dough to make these bagels your own. Keep in mind, by adding extras like cheese, raisins, etc .. your WW point value may increase.
- Keep an eye on your bagels while you are broiling them. Ovens are unique, those last two minutes may be too much for yours.
- Store leftovers in large zip top bag in the refrigerator. Toast to reheat.
What If You Don’t Have Self Rising Flour?
If you are unable to find self rising flour, don’t worry! I got you covered.
Simply combine 1 cup of all purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Now you have the perfect alternative so store bought self rising flour.
