There's nothing better than a homemade breakfast, and these homemade cranberry walnut bagels are going to be your new favorite recipe! They're hearty and flavorful just like a normal bagel, and each one will be rustic and unique when you hand-shape them. These bagels in particular are some of my favorite to make because they don’t require yeast or water baths - using a Greek yogurt base tastes just as good, and takes a fraction of the time to make. Pair them with your favorite sweet cream cheese

Homemade Cranberry Walnut Bagels
Ingredients
For the bagels:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
For the egg wash:
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, cranberries and walnuts in a bowl.
- Add in Greek yogurt and mix well, until rough dough forms.
- Form dough into a ball, adding some water if needed until dough sticks together.
- Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough until smooth and uniform - I like to form the dough into a long, flat rectangle shape to make it easy to divide.
- Divide dough into 6-8 equal parts, depending on how big you want your bagels, and round them into flattened circles.
- Poke a hole in each circle and form each into the bagel’s final shape, then place them on the baking sheet.
- Whisk the egg and milk to make your egg wash and brush onto bagels.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until slightly risen and golden brown.
- Slice and serve with a spread of your choice!
