I owe you this recipe for a long time. I promised about it on Instagram but it took me some time to finish it. Bagels, is a very nice idea for a sandwich at school or at the office, especially if you want to get away from the classic sandwich bread. Today I bring you the easy version for whole wheat bagels, because the classic one is far more complicated.
The recipe is based on the combination of flour and Greek yogurt. Those who read the blog from the beginning will remember that the pizza dough in the Pissaladiere recipe is based on the same combination. This is the easiest and quickest pizza dough that does not need rising. So these bagels do not need time to rise and they get prepared very fast. Keep in mind, however, that the flour / yogurt ratio may vary and depends on the products you use. Yogurt brands differ in moisture and texture, as flour does. There, perhaps, you have to “play” a little with the dough. 😉
