Best Easy No Bake Bagel Donuts Recipes

EASY NO-BAKE BAGEL "DONUTS"

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

• Add milk and food coloring to the remaining cream cheese; mix until thin and pourable. Spoon onto tops of bagels.
• Top with sprinkles.

REAL HOMEMADE BAGELS

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/4 cup water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vegetable oil, and yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed using the dough hook until well-developed, about 8 minutes. To ensure the gluten has developed fully, cut off a walnut-sized piece of dough. Flour your fingers, and then stretch the dough: if it tears immediately, the dough needs more kneading. Fully developed dough should form a thin translucent "windowpane."
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let rise for 2 hours.
• Punch the dough down, place it on a lightly floured work surface, and use a knife or dough scraper to divide the dough into 6 pieces (or more, for smaller bagels). Roll each piece of dough into a sausage shape about 6 inches long. Join the ends to form a circle. Repeat with the remaining dough, and let the bagels rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange small plates with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes next to the baking sheet.
• Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add honey, if desired (see Editor's Note). Boil the bagels, three at a time, until they rise to the surface of the pot, about 1 minute per side. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Dip the tops of the wet bagels into the toppings and arrange them, seeds up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

TWO-INGREDIENT BAGELS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour and yogurt in a large bowl and mixed until a soft dough forms. Turn out the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 3 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time roll into a ball. From dough ball into a bagel shape, using your finger to create a small hole in the center. Set on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Allow the bagels to rest for 15 minutes. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

EASY BAKED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix baking mix, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl with a whisk, beating vigorously for 20 strokes. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and knead 5 times. Roll dough into 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Place doughnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Pour melted butter into a bowl. Place 1/2 cup sugar in a separate bowl. Dip doughnuts into butter; transfer to sugar and lightly press until doughnuts are coated.
