Ingredients:

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Plain, non-fat Greek Yogurt

1.5 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg, beaten

**You can also use 1 cup of self-rising flour instead of flour with baking powder & salt**

Optional Ingredients: Bagel seasoning, Sunflower Seeds, Flax Seeds, etc.

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 325F.  In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder & salt.

2. Add Greek yogurt, and mix together until the dough starts to become sticky.  Continue mixing with your hands until all the dough is thoroughly mixed together.

3. Knead dough for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface.  Then separate into 4 equal parts. (you may want to use a kitchen scale for accuracy)

4. Roll out each ball of dough into a log.  Attach the ends together and slightly flatten into a bagel shape.  (you can also use a doughnut pan if you have one) Repeat for the rest of the dough.  Use a pastry brush to egg wash each one.

5. Bake on a cookie sheet sprayed with baking spray at 325F for 20-25 minutes.  Remove from oven and increase temperature to 500F.  Repeat the egg wash and put back in the oven to continue to bake for 5 minutes.  If you really want crisp tops, you can also broil them for 2 minutes.
