Ingredients
Scale
125 grams all-purpose flour
10 grams baking powder
1.5 grams salt
240 grams low-fat Greek yogurt
1 large egg, whisked
2 small jalapeno peppers, deseeded optionally; one diced, one sliced
60 grams shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
Instructions
Set the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking.
Dice one jalapeno finely and slice the other into thin rounds, setting both aside for later incorporation and topping.
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution.
Add the Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and begin mixing with a rubber spatula until the dough starts to form, then knead with hands to achieve a cohesive dough, adding flour to hands if excessively sticky.
Fold in the diced jalapeno and 60 grams shredded cheddar cheese gently to distribute evenly throughout the dough.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smoother and manageable.
Divide dough into four equal portions for smaller bagels or two portions for regular size; roll each into a 15 cm strand and pinch ends to form a ring.
Place formed bagels on parchment-lined baking sheet, brush each with whisked egg, top with 2–3 jalapeno slices and sprinkle additional cheddar cheese and a pinch of flaky salt if desired.
Bake in preheated oven for 18–22 minutes until tops develop a golden brown color.
Allow bagels to cool for 5–10 minutes; before serving, slice in half and toast for 2 minutes to crisp the interior.
Notes
Make sure to deseed the jalapenos if you prefer less heat.
These Jalapeno Cheddar Yogurt Bagels can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cheddar cheese based on your preference.
