Weight Watchers Bagel Recipe
The secret to these 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels is fat-free Greek yogurt. Fat free Greek yogurt is 0 points on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan and is one of the main ingredients in these bagels. The bagels are nutritious since Greek yogurt provides a protein boost.
You cannot taste the yogurt at all in these bagels. Give these Greek yogurt bagels a try and see for yourself! You won't believe that you can eat these and stay on the program. Greek yogurt is also used in this Weight Watchers Cinnamon Rolls Recipe.
These are called 2-Ingredient Bagels since the dough is made from two ingredients - flour and fat-free Greek yogurt. You do add some toppings, like egg wash and seasoning, so technically, it might be more than two.
2 Ingredient Dough Recipes
The magic of this two-ingredient dough doesn't stop with these bagels. Two-ingredient dough is very versatile for those on Weight Watchers. It can be used to make pizza, cinnamon rolls, and pretzels - endless possibilities.

Ingredients For 2 Ingredient Bagels
- Self rising flour - These bagels use self-rising flour which you can buy pre-made or make yourself. I make my own self-rising flour and have always had wonderful results. If you don't have self-rising flour, add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt to each cup of all-purpose flour.
- Fat free Greek yogurt - Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt adds moisture to the bagels and is a good source of protein and calcium.
- Optional - Everything Bagel Seasoning - This seasoning is made with poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. It adds a crunch and a burst of flavor to the bagels.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels
To make these low fat bagels, mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl. The dough will be sticky. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Divide into 4 equal parts and shape into a bagel shape.
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet (either covered in parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray), brush them with an egg wash, and add any desired toppings. Bake these yummy bagels until they are golden brown.
What Toppings Can I Use For Weight Watchers Bagels?
I love topping these with Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning. There are lots of everything seasoning out there, but my favorite is the one from Trader Joe's.
If you have never used everything bagel seasoning, you are in for a treat! It tastes amazing and can be used on bagels, eggs, avocado toast, and so much more! You can also top your bagels with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you prefer.
Tips for WW Bagels
Tip 1: You will be dividing the dough into 4 equal parts. Use a food scale to make sure you have 4 equal pieces.
Tip 2: Experiment with new flavors! Try using different mix-ins or toppings to create your own unique bagels.
Tip 3: Brushing the bagels with a beaten egg before you bake them helps them brown and helps any toppings stick.
FAQs For WW Bagels
Bagels can be stored in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or getting hard. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two days.
You can also freeze these bagels. To freeze, slice them in half, wrap each bagel in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer bag. They will stay fresh for up to three months. They can be toasted or warmed in the oven directly from the freezer.
The beauty of these bagels is that you don't need yeast. Instead of waiting around for dough to rise (because who has time for that?), you can get to the baking.
The bagel dough will rise because of the self-rising flour. These bagels are quick to make and deliciously chewy.
Plain Greek yogurt works best since it has the best consistency when combined with flour. The fat content of the Greek yogurt doesn't matter, but you must adjust the points accordingly if using yogurt with fat.
Plain Greek yogurt works so well in this recipe because of its consistency. It adds the right amount of moisture to the bagels.
Can I Freeze WW 2 Ingredient Dough?
You might be tempted to make the dough ahead of time and defrost it when you want bagels. But I wouldn't advise it. This dough does not freeze well, and its texture suffers when thawed.
Making the dough from scratch doesn't take very long, so you can have it fresh whenever the mood strikes. As long as you have the ingredients you need on standby, you can make this dough when you plan to use it.

- Turn dough on a lightly floured surface and brush your hands with a bit of flour.
- Knead and divide into 4 parts.

- Using a food scale will ensure you have 4 equal pieces of dough with which to make the bagels.
diane says
did not turn out like video to wet and sticky not able to work it
Fluffysquirrel says
My family loves these . I divided the dough into 2 bagels instead of 3, and they were gummy on the inside. Do I leave them in longer? Did I cut them too soon before letting them cool?
Vicky says
Maybe if the bagels are a bit thicker you can try leaving them in a few minutes more at 350. Hope that helps.
Carol Perlmutter says
Can these be made with a whole grain flour? I'd love to try them, but I don't even keep white flour in my house. Also, has anyone tried to make them with gluten free flour? That would be awesome. Thanks, Carol
Michele says
Hello can you let me know the calories in one bagel?
Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
Chacha says
Unfortunately I couldn't find the fage yogurt ended up using Trader Joe's 0 fat yogurt. It was thick but i had to use 2 cups of flour cause it was too wet. I put dough in fridge and try to bake tomorrow and see if it works. Any comment, reassurance would be appreciated.
MJ says
Fage yogurt is strained so it is not as watery. You might try straining TJs yogurt in a coffee filter for an hour or so to remove excess water. Measure after straining.
Jkrag says
Chacha, I use Siggie plain yogurt and the consistency is perfect.
Vicky says
I'll have to try that, thanks!
Marilyn says
I forgot I had a question. After you bake them at 350 for 23 minutes. Do you take them out, raise the temp to 500 and then stick them in for two more minutes?
Vicky says
Yes, though lately I have been leaving them in for 3-5 more minutes at 350 until they are the desired color. You can try that too.
Laura says
Interesting.....I used the Trader Joe’s yogurt as well and they came out great! By any chance did you use regular yogurt instead of Greek?
Cathy says
They were super easy to make...which I greatly appreciate. They just came out of the oven so haven't tried eating them yet but they sure look great!
Gwen McBride says
love, loved these bagel's........and they were so easy..... One question are we supposed to knead the dough until it is not sticky any more????... mine was still spicy
Vicky says
You can dust the surface with a little flour and that usually helps with the sticky factor. You are right, they are super easy. I usually make 4 at a time and will freeze the extras. Thank you for the kind words Gwen. It means a lot when someone takes the time to leave a nice comment. Enjoy the weekend!
Jessica Mahler says
For those following a weight-loss plan, do be careful that you count your bench flour (the extra flour that you add when kneading the dough).
We love these and have made the recipe many times, but to get a dough that looks like the one in this pic (and doesn’t leave half the recipe stuck to your hands), we’ve found we have to add a LOT more flour. In our case, we found it was changing the points from 3 to 4 or 5. Of course, you could also make smaller bagels to keep the point value low.
Joyce says
I made the dough ahead of time because of a time crunch and put in the fridge. When I rolled it out I found I didn’t need any flour on the board, just on my hands.
Laura says
I used the dough hook on my stand mixer and it worked great, even for 1/2 recipe (2 bagels). Since the dough was firm I did not need very much flour to roll them out. I actually just kind of shaped them with my hands.
Kathy vuocolo says
I love these bagels ! My DIL made them & I loved them so much now I'm making them. They keep me "full" all morning. Thank you so much. Kathy
Vicky says
Kathy, thanks so much for stopping by with the kind works. Have a wonderful day.
Ann says
yes after mixing in bowl (I use my dough hooks with blender) and then knead on floured surface. Makes a difference.
Vicky says
Great tip!
Diane Keys says
SEVEN...I count seven ingredients! Where do you get TWO? Very misleading. There is an actual recipe out there with only TWO ingredients. This just isn't it!!!
Vicky says
Thank you for the feedback Diane. I agree with you, which is why I mention in the post "One final note before I share how to make them – these are called 2 Ingredient Bagels, since the bagel is made from flour and fat free Greek yogurt. You do add some toppings like and egg wash and seasoning so technically, it might be more than two." I only included a recipe for self rising flour because people might not have it and wonder how to make it. They can be made with only self rising flour and the yogurt, but again I was trying to be helpful to readers by letting them know how to make the self rising flour. I like to add the egg wash and seasoning, some may not. Everyone at my meeting calls these 2 ingredient bagels since the dough is just two ingredients. Whatever people call them, they are delicious. 🙂
Kat Donahue says
Do you know what the net carbs is?
Laura says
Vicky,
Made these today and they are GREAT!
I am wondering if I could use the recipe baking in a muffin top pan to make a thinner result more like bread?
Laura
Bean says
Sadly some people have nothing better to do than berate people who are trying to help. Thanx for the 2 ingredient recipe I love it
Me says
Actually, there are technically 2 ingredients in this; self rising flour and yogurt. But she is kind enough to provide n additional recipe on how to make your own self-rising flour. Some people just aren't happy unless they're bringing other people down. Tsk tsk
Vicky says
Thanks and I hope you enjoyed them!
Beth says
Well then you need to re-read the recipe.....
Alice Campbell says
If you will notice one recipe is for bagels and one is for making self rising flour if you don't have it handy.
Angela says
Is the snark necessary? You can make the bagels with TWO ingredients and then top them with something else. I've made them with just the TWO ingredients and they are quite good.
Debbie says
seven ingredient to make self rising dough if you cant find it in the store.
Elaine says
Jeeze Diane, who peed in your cornflakes this morning? Learn how to read.
Marilyn says
I made these today and doubled the recipe; they are wonderful. I added in some nutritional yeast and wheat germ and plan to make them again for a brunch this weekend
I love these great short recipes that are easy to remember. I thought they would be great for dinner rolls, too.
Vicky says
Thanks for sharing your good experience Marilyn!
Ann says
Whoa... so angry? This is a TWO ingredient recipe as all that is needed is self rising flour and Greek yogurt. The added toppings are EXTRA as you can make these with cinnamon, as pretzels or bagels.. lots of options. Next the other three ingredients are IF you do NOT have SELF RISING flour. Hope you have a better day.
Vicky says
Thanks for stopping by Ann. 🙂
Matt Langhoff says
Learn to read you dummy. Very clearly listed in the recipe. I would rate you only 2 stars, Diane.
Julie says
You clearly didn't read her comments, she says that there are technically a few additional ingredients you can use, but you don't have to use them. The 2 MAIN ingredients are yogurt & flour. I don't understand why the need to be so nasty?
PAK says
Diane Keys ....bah humbug. You can make them with 2 ingredients (self rising flour and Greek yogurt)or you can add additional ingredients in the form of toppings.
These turned out beautifully. So delicious. I went the long, hard, extra mile to add the egg wash and “Everything” topping. It was so much work but so worth it. (<—snarky)
Jo says
Wow sounds easy! Do you know what the nutritional values are.
Wanda says
What are the total carbs for this recipe. No nutritional value listed
KAren Smith says
wonder if I could make these bagels using rye flour and top them with caraway seeds
Marlene Sherman says
I tried rye but they didn't come out as good, didn't rise like my whole wheat ones did
Vicky says
Good to know. I love the idea of Rye bagels so this is a bummer to hear.
