Egg bagels are a good breakfast idea, and today, I’m bringing this amazing recipe for you that will solve your breakfast problem. They are spongey and delicious.
To make egg bagels, add yeast in water and dissolve it properly. Then, add salt and sugar and mix them properly. In another bowl, beat eggs and add this to the yeast mixture.
Then, add flour to this bowl to smooth the dough, knead it, and make small balls. Boil for a few minutes, then brush them with yolks and sprinkle them with sesame seeds. Then, bake them for 30 minutes.
If you have instant dry yeast or rapid-rise yeast, you can add it directly to your flour mixture. There’s no need to dissolve it in warm water. It’s ready to work!
Yeast, sugar and eggs are the main ingredients for this delicacy, and a detailed list of ingredients is given below. The complete recipe with all the mandatory steps is also given below.

What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Egg Bagels?
- All-Purpose Flour – Use all-purpose flour to make dough for the bagels stiffer and tackier.
- Eggs – Adding eggs makes these bagels richer in flavor, softer, fluffier, and less chewy.
- Egg Yolks – Save one of the egg yolks to use as an egg wash for the egg bagels which will yield a chewer crust.
- Active Dry Yeast – Use active dry yeast to help the dough to rise. I recommend an instant or active dry yeast.
- Lukewarm Water – Use lukewarm water for the water bath to make the balls rise.
- Olive Oil – Oil will help to tenderize the dough, preventing them from toughness.
- Sesame Seeds – Sprinkle sesame seeds over the balls to add a kick of a mild, sweet, and nutty flavor.
- Salt – Salt will help in dough’s expansion during fermentation.
- Brown Sugar – Dark or light brown sugar, doesn’t matter which. Plain granulated sugar will also work, but I like the stronger flavor you get from the brown sugar.
Steps To Make Egg Bagels
1. Shape The Balls
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, take a large mixing bowl and add water, yeast, and salt to it. Mix it well and sugar to the mixture.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with the yeast mixture. Add four cups of flour to the mixture.
Mix it well to make dough. Cover this dough with a clean kitchen towel and rest for an hour.
After resting your dough, knead it on a plain surface with some dry flour and knead it well until it is fluffy and elastic.
Once the dough is ready, cut it into even small shaped balls and make a hole at its center with your finger.
2. Bake The Balls
Take a large pot and add water in it and allow it to boil. Once the water is boiled, add these bagels in the water and let them cook until they rise on the top of the pot.
Take these bagels out once raised at the top of the pot and sprinkle some sesame seeds on them.
Now put these bagels on the baking tray and let them bake for 30 minutes until they change from white to a golden brown.
Once baked, take them out and let them cool and then enjoy your favorite mini bagels at home.
Serve them with any sauce or dip whatever you like. It adds to its taste and makes it even better. So, this was how you make egg bagels at home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
My dough isn’t doubling in size. Was I supposed to bloom the yeast first?
If you’re using active dry yeast, it can be used exactly the same way as instant yeast, but because active dry yeast has a little shell around it that needs to dissolve, it sometimes takes a little longer to activate in the dough. So your dough might rise a little more slowly than if you use instant yeast.
Can I use bread flour to make these egg bagels?
Yep! you can use bread flour for these egg bagels. But bread flour will also work just fine.
How to serve egg bagels?
While you really can serve egg bagels however you want, their softer texture makes them perfect for softer sandwich fillings that might otherwise squish out of a firmer bagel. And their slightly sweeter flavor is perfect for sweet toppings like jams or cinnamon sugar but also provides a nice contrast to salty fillings like bacon, lox, or cream cheese.
Can you freeze egg bagels?
Yes. Slice the bagels in half and transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 4 weeks. When you’re ready to eat it, thaw the bagel on the counter for about 30 minutes, then bake in a 400°F oven for about 4 minutes.
Why are my egg bagels yellow?
Because of the number of eggs in the dough, the bagels take on a yellow hue.
