INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup flour (all-purpose)

• 1½ tsp baking powder
• Half tsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• One tbsp milk (plant-based) (for brushing purposes)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

• Using all-purpose flour will make a good bagel bite shape and consistency. This is a necessary component as it creates the base of the recipe. If you want to use something else, try the use of whole wheat flour, which in turn will give you a bit of dense bagel bites.

UNSWEETENED VEGAN YOGURT:

• This is actually an alternative to yeast, and it also helps in giving the bagel bites a soft texture. This product also combines all the ingredients together. If you require an alternative, try thick soy yogurt.

BAKING POWDER:

• We will need this product so that it helps in lifting the bagel bites when they bake in the oven. It also provides them with a lighter consistency.

SALT:

• Adding salt will make the bagel bites taste better than before. If you avoid the use of sodium, then you can consider lowering the amount of salt in your recipe.

OLIVE OIL:

• This is an important element in this recipe as it will provide softness to the bagel bites when they bake and also add moisture to the snack. If you require an alternative for this, try using any kind of neutral vegetable oil.

PLANT-BASED MILK:

• This is specifically for spreading on top of the bagel bites so that they can achieve a golden color. Another option for you to use can be simple water.

TOPPINGS:

• All of the toppings for this recipe will provide a nice consistency to the bagel bites and include a good taste as well. Alternatives can be dry herbs, garlic powder, or poppy seeds.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Warm your oven to 180°C.
2. Take some parchment paper to cover the tray with it.
3. Utilize a bowl to combine the dry components.
4. Then, include olive oil and vegan yogurt in it as well to create a dough.
5. After making a dough out of the mixture, rub some flour in your hands.
6. Start creating small balls and arrange them on the tray.
7. Spread some plant-based milk on each ball.
8. Add the seasonings and sesame seeds on top as well.
9. Baking time for the bagel bites is 20 minutes.
10. After they turn golden, take them out and cool them down for a while.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

TIPS:

• Be sure that the vegan yogurt that you are using is thick enough so that the consistency of the bagels comes out fine.
• Rubbing some flour on your hands will make it easy for you to create ball shapes from the dough.
• As soon as these bagel bites turn golden in the oven, remove them, or else baking them for too long will make them dry.
