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.
The crazy thing is that 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 are able to eat these and stay on the program.
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 Dough 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 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.
How Do You Store Homemade Bagels?
Storing bagels correctly is important if you want to keep them fresh and tasting great. 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.
Do I Need Yeast To Make These Bagels?
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. They're perfect for when you get a craving for bagels and you just can't wait.
Do I Have To Use Greek Yogurt In These Bagels?
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. You would never know these bagels were made with yogurt since it doesn't affect the taste.
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.

Kitchen Essentials
Before you whip up these easy bagels, you'll want to be sure you've got the essentials on hand. A sturdy mixing bowl will come in handy for combining those ingredients, while a baking sheet will help these bagels to bake up perfectly.
You might also want some parchment paper to keep your pan non-sticky. A kitchen scale helps you weigh the dough to ensure each bagel is roughly the same size. Head over to Amazon, where you can find these awesome tools to bring your bagels to life.

A comment about boiling them that I saw on Kirbiecravings.com was this:
A few recipes I found boiled the bagels before baking them. Traditional NY bagels are boiled first but I didn’t feel that it was necessary for this recipe. While it did expand the bagels and make them bigger, they also took a lot longer to bake and they were not as smooth and round because of the boiling.
Lisa
Sue... I boiled this recipe for 4 bagels ..boiled for 1 minute...then baked them. They turned out wonderful, didn't spread, held their consistency of a NY bagel, chewy inside, firm outside. I made them Asiago Cheese topped, spread with a sundried tomato and basil garlic herbed " homemade cream cheese spread I make) ...whew...Delicious!
Ruth J Elliott
Hi .. Could you tell me why a bagels are 3 points and a pizza dough is 6 points for the whole thing please
Stephanie
Hi! Thank you for the recipe. I just made them! My dough was incredibly sticky though which made it very tricky to work with. Any tips? Thanks!
Kelly B
I had read about these bagels, well I just made some and they are wonderful. One post mentioned using Wal-Mart Great Value flour along with Fage yogurt. I had bought the everything bagel topping. This will be a new staple recipe in my house. Can't wait to make the cinnamon topped and the pretzels too!
Jennifer Barnes
What a fun recipe. I don't know what I did wrong - they looked great initially out of the oven but then they sank and were flat. Has this ever happened to anyone?
Julie
Check the expiration date on your self rising flour, or if you made your own, then check the date on the baking powder you used, that is usually the cause of why my baked goods don't turn out. I made these last night and they are AMAZING!!
Francesca Russell
Your nutritional information in the content of the recipe is way off. It states there is only 9 calories...
Joanna
I agree - this is so misleading. Each one would be 130 calories. Not 9!!!
Vicky
Sorry, my program had a glitch calculating. I am still on the search for a 9 calorie bagel. 🙂
Vicky
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I use a program to calculate the nutritional info and there was a glitch with it. I would kill for a 9 calorie bagel though. 🙂
Joyce
I was skeptical but they turned out well. I made the dough and stuck in the fridge because of an evneing time crunch. When I took out to prepare, I only needed to dust my hands with flour, none on the counter. My only problem was as I rolled the ropes out, they kept spring back, so the bagels were smaller and more dense than I’d hoped. Perhaps it was because the dough was refrigerated?
I am shaking my head about some of the negative comments above. Guess folks feel liked it’s their bully pulpit and they can be rude. There are polite ways to say it didn’t work out or your didn’t like them. I, for one, appreciate your sharing this recipe.

I do put them in gently boiling water for about 90 seconds before putting on egg wash and topping. They really puff up and taste delicious,
Deede
What a treat!...I just made these and they were just delicious and satisfying...I did cook them a bit longer...and they came out perfect...Thank you for sharing...I am bookmarking your page...
Colleen
I just made these. I liked the flavor of the bagel. I topped them with black sesame seeds, as that's what I had on hand. I agree with the other reviewer to cook them a bit longer, maybe an additional 5 minutes. Will definitely make them again.
Vicky
So glad you enjoyed them Colleen!
Madeleine
Just tried this recipe this morning and will be making it again and again! Love it, and can't wait to try pizza with it. I used the Fage 0% Greek yogurt. 😋
Vicky
Thank you for stopping by with the kind words!
Rhonda
Just made these tonight. So good I made a second batch! Very light and fluffy! And super easy!
Thank you!
Vicky
Thanks Rhonda!
Adrienne
Hi, I just made these bagels... so good! I put the nutritional information in the recipe calculator and it says 4 points, do you know what I did wrong?
Vicky
Sometimes mine does that with things because it doesn't use the exact items I have used. It is 3 points on Freestyle and 4 points on the old plan.
Jen
Could you use gluten free flour?
Vicky
As long as you followed the directions for making self rising flour (subbing gluten free for regular) it should work. The points might be different though.
Julie
Just made these and they are absolutely DELICIOUS! I used egg beaters egg whites to brush the tops. These taste cheesy and there isn't even any cheese in them.
Vicky
Love the egge beaters idea!
Sandi
Made these yesterday. They were delicious! Unfortunately my yogurt was quite watery but I just kept adding flour till they were workable. I am not counting calories so flour didn’t matter. I cooked 4 of them in my air fryer for 10 to 11 minutes.
Vicky
Great idea to use the air fryer.
Amanda
I followed this recipe almost exactly and they turned out perfect. The only thing I changed was after 23 minutes I used the high broiler setting to brown the tops quickly.
I made these "knowing" they weren't going to taste good. I was so surprised how great they were! Obviously they aren't going to be EXACTLY like a bagel because this is a two ingredient alternative dough, but I can only slightly tell the difference! The inside texture is a little more dough-ier than a traditional bagel - but I loved the fresh baked taste. Thank you for sharing!
Vicky
They are really a great alternative.
