Description

These Greek Yogurt Protein Bagels are a delicious and nutritious twist on traditional bagels, made with simple ingredients including all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, and baking powder. They are quick to prepare and bake, offering a soft, chewy texture with a subtle tang from the yogurt. Perfect for a high-protein breakfast or snack, these homemade bagels can be customized with your favorite toppings like everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Poppy seeds
  • Sesame seeds
  • Flakey sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the bagels.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and sea salt until well combined.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt to the dry mixture. The dough will be somewhat crumbly or clumpy. Use your hands to pull the dough together into one ball. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or a small spoonful more of yogurt.
  4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it about 10-15 times to develop texture and pliability.
  5. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into six equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope approximately 1 inch thick, then shape into a circle and press the ends together firmly to form a bagel shape. Place each shaped piece on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Add Toppings: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over each bagel, ensuring all exposed surfaces including the hole are covered. Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the bagels while the egg wash is still wet.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 19-23 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown. Avoid overcooking to ensure they remain soft. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving, or enjoy warm.

Notes

  • If the dough is too dry, add a little water or extra Greek yogurt to help bring it together.
  • For a crispier crust, you can bake a bit longer but watch closely to avoid drying out.
  • Customize toppings per your preference—everything bagel seasoning adds a nice savory flavor.
  • These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Using full fat Greek yogurt helps achieve the best texture and flavor.
