- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and garlic powder until a dough forms.
- If sticky, lightly flour your hands and knead until smooth.
3. Shape the Bagels:
- Divide the dough into four equal pieces.
- Roll each into a log and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
4. Egg Wash & Toppings:
- Brush each bagel with a beaten egg.
- Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, then top with mini pepperoni slices and dried oregano.
5. Bake:
- Place bagels on the baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Cool & Serve:

Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Swap mini pepperoni for turkey pepperoni or veggies for a lighter version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster oven for best results.
