how to make Protein Bagels with Greek Yogurt

You mix dry ingredients, add Greek yogurt, shape the dough, brush with egg, and bake. Work quickly and keep the dough lightly floured so it does not stick.

Ingredients :

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour as needed)
• 1 cup Plain (Non-Fat Greek Yogurt)
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)

Directions :

Preheat & Prepare Baking Sheet:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a bowl, stir together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until even.

Add the Wet Ingredient:

Add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt to the dry mix. Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough is very sticky, add a little flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you can handle it.

Shape the Bagels:

Lightly flour your hands and a work surface. Divide the dough into 4–6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then press your thumb through the center and stretch into a bagel shape.

Egg Wash & Toppings:

Beat the egg and brush the tops of the bagels for shine. Add toppings if you like (sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or oats).

Bake the Bagels:

Place bagels on the prepared sheet and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and set.

Cool Slightly & Serve:

Let the bagels cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then move to a rack to cool a little more before slicing.
