Instructions

This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.

Steps to make bacon cheddar ranch bagels
  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, combine the self-rising flour and yogurt, and knead for 6 minutes until a ball forms. Add additional self-raising flour as needed. (The moisture of your yogurt may affect the exact quantities.)
  3. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you will need to knead the dough by hand for 6 minutes.
  4. Once the dough forms a cohesive, elastic ball of dough, remove it from the bowl and place it on a workspace dusted with additional flour.
  5. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, then form each portion of dough into a bagel. Make them wider with a bigger hole than a normal bagel as they will get smaller with baking.
  6. Place the formed bagels onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  7. Brush the bagels with egg white. Sprinkle on additional cheese and chopped bacon.
  8. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the tops of the bagels are golden brown.

How to store, reheat, and freeze

Bagels are best eaten the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

To freeze bagels, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flash freeze for 30 minutes. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen bagels are best eaten within 3 months.

Reheat frozen bagels by placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, until warmed through. You can also reheat bagels in the microwave, but they will not be as crispy.

Expert Tips

Expert Tip: If you don't have self-raising flour, you can use all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.
