Home Made Everything Bagels

You know what they say:

A bagel a day keeps the donut away.

Unless you really want a donut then it would

Be the other way around.

BUT who

doesn’t love a good ole’ fashion

everything bagel every now and then.

We don’t know what they put in that

seasoning, but luckily, Trader Joes does.

You can now buy the

“Everything but the bagel” seasoning

and make your very own bagels!

We recently picked up a couple ofb

bottles and decided to try our hand

at making some of our own.

The recipe is super simple and requires

NO boiling like traditional bagel making.

You will need:

1 cup of unbleached all purpose flour

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup non-fat Greet yogurt

1 egg white, beaten

Everything but the bagel seasoning

Preheat oven to 375F. Place parchment paper

on a baking sheet and spray it with oil.

Grab a bowl and combine the flour, baking powder

and salt and whisk well. Then add the Greek yogurt

 and mix with a fork or spatula until well

combined (Side note: it will be crumbly)

Take some flour and spread t over a surface.

Take your ball of dough from the bowl and

start kneading it. You will knead the dough until

 it’s tacky, but not sticky (it should not leave dough

on your hand when you pull away).

Take your dough and cut it into four equal sections.

 Then, roll piece ball into semi-thick ropes and join

 the ends to form bagels. (or you can make a ball

 and poke a hole in the center then stretch it slightly)

Next, take your beaten egg white and a

 basting brush and brush the tops  of each bagel

 and then sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice.

 Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes.

Remove and let cool 10 minutes before slicing!

Toast them and enjoy with your

favorite spread!

No better way to start your

day then with fresh

home made bagels!
