Notes
✔️ Use Thick Greek Yogurt – The thicker the yogurt, the better the dough consistency.
✔️ Don’t Overmix the Dough – Overworking the dough can make bagels dense.
✔️ Let Dough Rest for 5 Minutes – Improves texture and elasticity.
✔️ For Extra Crispiness – Toast in an air fryer for 2 minutes after baking.
