1 Cup Fat-Free Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Water
For the Toppings (Divided Among 4 Bagels):
1/2 Cup Pizza Sauce (About 2 Tbsp Per Bagel)

Directions:
For this recipe, you'll need:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, egg, and water until a sticky dough forms.
