Greek Yogurt Protein Bagels (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Bagel Dough
01 -
1½ cup thick Greek yogurt
02 -
4 teaspoons powdered baking mix
03 -
A teaspoon of coarse kosher salt
04 -
2¼ cups of all-purpose or bread flour
→ Topping
05 -
A good sprinkle of sesame seeds or bagel seasoning mix
06 -
1 egg white, gently whisked
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s happening, lay a sheet of parchment paper on your baking tray and leave it to the side for now.
02 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and toss in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk until it’s all blended. Next, spoon in the yogurt and start stirring. You’ll probably need to use your hands at the end to form the dough entirely.
03 -
Dump the dough onto a clean countertop. If it feels sticky, you can sprinkle a little flour on the counter, but it’s often fine as-is. Break the dough into six even chunks.
04 -
Grab one chunk and roll it into a thick rope, about 7-8 inches long. Press the ends together to close it into a circle. To secure the ends, slip your hand through the hole and roll that spot lightly on the counter. Repeat for all the pieces and put the bagels on the prepared tray. Let them sit there for about 5-10 minutes so they puff a little.
05 -
Pick up one bagel and use a brush to coat it with egg white before sprinkling on some sesame seeds or seasoning mix. Place it back on the tray and do the same for the rest.
06 -
Slide the tray into the oven and bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until they turn beautifully golden. Take the tray out and move the bagels to a cooling rack. Give them at least 10 minutes to cool before cutting into them.
07 -
Once they’ve cooled, slice the bagels. You can toast them if you like. Spread on cream cheese or any topping you’re in the mood for. Keep any extras in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
# Notes:
01 -
This handy method uses Greek yogurt in place of yeast for quick bagels with a solid 10 grams of protein each.
02 -
If you don’t want to use the flour and baking powder combo, use self-rising flour instead. Combine 2¼ cups of that with ¼ teaspoon salt.
03 -
To air fry, preheat your machine to 300°F, run it for 5 minutes, then cook the bagels for 15-20 minutes until they’re golden and set.

Feel free to try other topping flavors, like dried onion or garlic. Or make these as Jalapeño Cheddar Bagels for a fun twist!
