Does it work? We try a recipe for bagels that requires just flour, Greek yogurt

You've probably seen the recipe on your social media pages or flipping through a food website or magazine. Bagels or pizza dough made with just a cup of flour and a cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.

But, I always have flour and nonfat plain Greek yogurt in my house (I eat the yogurt daily). I have it a shot.

1 egg, beaten for an egg wash

The recipe makes four bagels.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix the flour and yogurt together until a dough forms.

Cut the dough in fourths.

Roll the dough balls into a rope or, as my eight-year-old called it, a snake. Form the dough snakes into a circle.

Place the bagels on a baking sheet. Brush with egg wash. Leave plain or top with some sesame seeds, poppy seeds or whatever you like. Trader Joe's sells an Everything But the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend that my friend uses when she makes these.

Here is one with some sesame seeds ...

Bake for about 20 minutes. It took mine about 22 minutes. If you'd like, stick them under the broiler on high for another minute so the top gets a nice golden brown. (Just make sure you watch them so they don't burn under the broiler.) Here's how they came out ...

I made these the night before, and they were still very moist the next morning. We slathered them with jam or cream cheese.

"They don't taste like anything," said my older daughter. Like a bagel, they are slightly chewy, but I'd put them in the category of bagel-shaped bread substance that don't have quite as many carbs as a regular bagel. These are sometimes called "Weight Watchers Bagels" online.

These bagels could be a fun recipe to make with little ones as it is so easy. I didn't try it as pizza dough, but I could definitely see how the dough could be easily substituted for the kind I've been making from scratch. But, when I want a bagel, I'll still be going to New York Bagel.
