A simple, quick recipe for high-protein bagels made with Greek yogurt.

introduction

These Greek Yogurt Bagels are easy and fast. They use plain ingredients and give more protein than regular bagels. They bake in about 25 minutes. If you want another high-protein bread idea, try this high-protein buffalo chicken flatbread for a different savory option.

why make this recipe

Make these bagels when you want a quick, high-protein breakfast or snack. The dough is simple and you do not need yeast. They take less time than traditional bagels. You can add seasoning like everything bagel seasoning or cinnamon to change the flavor.

how to make Greek Yogurt Bagels

You mix the dry ingredients, add Greek yogurt, form the dough, shape bagels, brush with egg wash, and bake. The dough is a bit sticky at first. Use flour on your hands if the dough sticks. Make four medium bagels from the recipe.

Ingredients :

1 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 egg
everything bagel seasoning (optional)
cinnamon (optional)

Directions :

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt (if making cinnamon bagels, add 2 tsp cinnamon).
Add yogurt to bowl. Use a wooden or silicone spatula to mix dough. Clumps should start to form. Use your hands to fully combine. Flour a large cutting board or surface to knead dough. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then slightly flatten. Form a hole in the middle (you can use the end of a measuring spoon to poke the hole). Another method is to roll the dough into a log and join the ends to create a circle. If dough is sticky, add a little flour.
Place bagels on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk egg for the egg wash. Brush each bagel with egg wash and top with everything bagel seasoning (or cinnamon). Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until tops are slightly golden. Let cool before slicing.

how to serve Greek Yogurt Bagels

Slice the bagels and toast them lightly. Serve with cream cheese, butter, jam, peanut butter, or sliced turkey. For a breakfast sandwich, add egg and cheese. Warm bagels taste best the same day.

how to store Greek Yogurt Bagels

Store cooled bagels in an airtight container or a zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a bag for up to 2 months. Thaw and toast before eating.

tips to make Greek Yogurt Bagels

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture.
• If dough is sticky, dust your hands and work surface with flour.
• Do not overmix the dough; mix until it just comes together.
• Press a measuring spoon through the center to make even holes.
• Let bagels cool a bit before slicing to avoid squashing them.

variation (if any)

• Everything bagel: Brush with egg and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning.
• Cinnamon bagel: Add 2 tsp cinnamon to dry ingredients and top with a cinnamon-sugar mix.
• Savory herb: Mix in 1 tsp dried herbs (oregano or thyme) to the dough.

FAQs

Q: Can I use nonfat Greek yogurt?
A: Yes, you can. The texture may be slightly drier than full-fat yogurt.

Q: Can I make more than four bagels?
A: Yes. If you make smaller bagels, divide the dough into more pieces and reduce baking time slightly.

Q: Do I need to boil these like traditional bagels?
A: No. This recipe is oven-only. You do not boil the bagels before baking.

Q: Can I use whole wheat flour?
A: You can try a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour. The bagels may be denser.

Q: How do I reheat frozen bagels?
A: Thaw at room temperature and toast or warm in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
