How to Make Everything Bagel Bites
First, this dough is my 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough recipe. I took out the salt since I found there is plenty in the everything bagel seasoning, and added some baking powder to help them rise and be light and fluffy.
- In a large bowl add the flour, greek yogurt, and baking powder. Mix with a spatula until everything comes together. PRO TIP: I like to put on kitchen gloves and used my hands to mix the last little bit at the end.
- Sprinkle the counter with some flour and dump out the dough onto the floured surface. Knead the dough for about a minute with your hands, adding more flour if you need to prevent sticking to the counter.
- Form the dough into a round ball. Using a knife or bench scraper, slice the dough evenly down the middle. Then split each half in half. Finally cut each quarter into 4 equal size dough pieces. This will give you 16 equally sized dough balls.
- Remove the cream cheese from the fridge (it helps to keep it chilled to make it easier to cut). Slice off 1 ounce of cream cheese off the block. Cut down the middle longways, making 2 long strips of cream cheese. Then cut into 4ths. This will give you 8 small cubes. Repeat with the other ounce of cream cheese.
- Take a dough ball and flatten into a flat round circle. Place a cube of cream cheese in the middle. Bring all the sides up around the cream cheese and use your fingers to pinch the edges together sealing the dough ball. Roll around in your hands so that the dough is a round ball. Repeat with the remaining 15 dough balls.
- Place the filled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place an egg in a small bowl and whisk. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each dough ball.
- Sprinkle each egg-washed dough ball with everything bagel seasoning. Use as much or as little as you prefer, but personally I like a lot of tops.
- Bake and Enjoy!

Description
Everything Bagel Bites are small nuggets of heaven stuffed with melty cream cheese that is going to have you singing love songs till the end of time! They are bite-size and the perfect carb and cheese delight in which you won't be able to stop at just one!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1 Cup Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 Egg
- Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl add the flour, greek yogurt, and baking powder. Mix with a spatula until everything comes together. This is a thick and sticky dough. I like to put on kitchen gloves and used my hands to mix the last little bit at the end.
- Sprinkle the counter with some flour and dump out the dough onto the floured surface. Knead the dough for about a minute with your hands, adding more flour if you need to prevent it from sticking to the counter.
- Form the dough into a round ball. Using a knife or bench scraper, slice the dough evenly down the middle. Then split each half in half. Finally cut each quarter into 4 equal size dough pieces. This will give you 16 equally sized dough balls.

Cut down the middle longways, making 2 long strips of cream cheese. Then cut into 4ths. This will give you 8 small cubes. Repeat with the other ounce of cream cheese.
- Take a dough ball and flatten into a flat round circle. Place a cube of cream cheese in the middle. Bring all the sides up around the cream cheese and use your fingers to pinch the edges together sealing the dough ball. Roll around in your hands so that the dough is a round ball.

- Place the filled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place an egg in a small bowl and whisk. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each dough ball.
- Sprinkle each egg-washed dough ball with everything bagel seasoning. Use as much or as little as you prefer, but personally I like a lot of tops.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove once finished. Let cool for 5 minutes then enjoy!
Notes
- These are best enjoyed warm. You can definitely enjoy at room temp, the cream cheese just won't be melty and warm. If you keep leftovers and want to warm back up, pop in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.

Made these with Gluten free flour (cup4cup) and they were amazing! So happy they turned out and I have the taste of everything bagels back in my life (it’s been about 15 years)!

Heather says
Oh yay!!! I love hearing that!! Thank you for sharing and making them! ENJOY!
Amanda says
Hey! Wondering if using full fat Greek yogurt would cause any issues with the recipe?
Heather says
Nope! It shouldn't!
Holly says
Can you freeze these? What are the steps to freeze and then also to reheat
Heather says
Yes, definitely. Make it completely and let it cool. Put them on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 30 minutes and then store them in a freezer-safe bag for 3-4 months. Thaw in the fridge for 24 hours - pop in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm, if desired.
Elizabeth Edwards says
I made this batch X3 each time. I found the ratio of the dough/cream cheese was a bit off (too doughy) I made a second batch back to back and I cut the dough balls in half again after I already had 16.
So now I have 32 for the X3 recipe.
Same amount of cream cheese to each smaller dough ball though. My second batch came out better, and the ratios were a more level playing field. Very happy with these, I usually go to Dunkin every morning and buy these but my monthly Dunkin bill is well over $250 and I wanted to save some money where I could.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I am so glad you like these and have made them so much!
Pat Helland says
1 cup of flour and 1 cup of yogurt. That will NEVER come together in a ball. This must be a joke.
Heather Bilyeu says
Hi Pat, thanks for taking the time to read this recipe and comment. Did you try making it? It actually isn't a joke - did you see the pictures included of the dough? It does come together and works, otherwise, this would not be posted as a recipe. It makes a quite delicious and chewy dough that we use as pizza dough as well - and it is quick and easy! I hope you get a chance to make these because they are some of our favorites and a fan fav at FSS!
Martha Rimmel says
Really tasty, thank you. I only had regular (homemade) yogurt and didn’t want to wait/strain, so subbed sour cream. I put some seasoning on my counter and pressed the dough rounds into and the seeds stuck well without the egg wash. I served for a light lunch with smoked salmon and sliced tomatoes. I briefly froze the cheese and think refrigerated might be more malleable but they still rolled and baked well with no leaks. Egg wash would probably make them shine brown better but they still looked great. Considered encasing a small bit of salmon with cheese but didn’t want to overcook the fish. Will make again (and again and again).

Wow! Martha, thank you so much for making this recipe and then leaving a comment - pairing it with the smoked salmon sounds delicious! So glad you like them and will be making them again!
