I’m always excited and happy to share Weight Watchers recipes. Of all the recipes on this blog, they are the recipes that I make over and over again. My Weight Watchers chili is a good example of one of these recipes!
My favorite “challenge” is coming up with recipes that use zero point foods. If you’re on the Freestyle program, you know exactly what I’m talking about. There are over 200 foods that have no points, and one of them is in this recipe (you’ll see soon!).
The recipe in the spotlight today is two ingredient bagels.
If you’re part of any Weight Watchers communities online or if you’ve gone to meetings, you might have heard whisperings about these bagels. What are they? What are the two ingredients? Are they disgusting? Delicious? How do I make them?
I’m here to teach you how to make these little dough-y wheels of delight and then answer any questions you have! Because the truth is, this homemade bagel recipe pretty amazing.
You can eat these for breakfast as bagels, form into small sandwich rounds, make a large or several individual pizza crusts, or even use the dough to make pigs in a blanket.
What do two ingredient bagels taste like?
I find that this recipe tastes a little bit like dense white bread with a hint of sourdough (thanks to the Greek yogurt). Here’s what I love about this Weight Watchers dough: it’s the perfect vehicle for other “stuff.”
Other stuff like butter, cream cheese, shredded cheese, tomato sauce, and more.
Of course those things are additional points, but these bagels are so dense, filling, and low in points that they are better than a lot of other options as a base. Having said that, I don’t mind eating them plain. I find them to be so good and a perfect substitute for other calorie and point dense breads.
Self Rising Flour vs. Regular Flour
The recipe calls for self rising flour, but to be honest you can make your own self rising flour. Just combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to make the shelf rising flour.
I’m going to be honest though – I don’t find that these WW bagels taste as good if I don’t use self rising flour. I always use Gold Medal self rising flour, and it is the best tasting to me. I absolutely taste a difference; maybe you won’t. I’d love to know in the comments if you are like me when it comes to flour taste!
Serves Four or Six
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (you can sub with gluten free flour)
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (I recommend something with a thicker consistency like Fage)
- Toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, cinnamon, parmesan
My top tip for this recipe – these are actually delicious in the air fryer! The air fryer gives them a crispier outer shell just like a “real” bagel.

Two Ingredient Bagels
Ingredients
- 1 1/8 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
- Butter or egg wash optional
- Bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour and Greek yogurt in a large bowl; mix using a fork.
- When the dough clumps and you feel like it's not mixing anymore, it's time to use your hands. Knead the dough in the bowl, continuing to mix the flour and yogurt together.
- After the ingredients are completely combined, divide the dough into either four or six balls. Roll each ball out on a silicone mat or lightly floured surface. Form a long tube with each ball.
- Form round bagel shapes with the long tubes and place on the parchment paper.
- If desired, brush the tops of the bagels with some butter, oil, or an egg wash. You can also sprinkle on bagel seasoning.
- Bake your bagels for 10 – 12 minutes until golden brown on top, checking for doneness. Remove from the oven and let cool for several minutes before slicing.
