High Protein Bagels
These High Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels are easy to make with 5 simple ingredients including all-purpose flour and Greek yogurt. No yeast and no boiling needed. Bagels come out fluffy, delicious, and packed with 11 grams of protein.
To make four bagels, use the measurements below.
All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
Greek yogurt: 1 cup (I use Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt. You can use plain greek yogurt too but I like the sweetness from the vanilla.)
Baking Powder: 1 tsp
Egg: 1 egg
Toppings (optional): Sprinkle your bagels with your preferred cheese (I like shredded parmesan or asiago). You can also sprinkle other things like everything bagel seasoning, onion flakes, or poppy seeds.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Mix the flour, yogurt and baking powder together until it forms a slightly sticky dough. You may want to add a tad more flour if it's too sticky to work with. Knead it a little bit, then cut the dough into four sections. If you have time, let dough rest for 10 minutes. If not, you'll still get delicious bagels.
Transfer the dough to a counter sprinkled with flour. Roll each section into a snake like log. Then form a bagel shape and press the dough together.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Then place the bagels on the baking sheet.
Now take your whisked egg and brush the tops of the bagels. This will give them that golden texture when baked and also helps the toppings stick. After brushing the egg onto the bagels, then sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes if you have the patience. Slice and enjoy with your favorite spread. I love the mixed berry whipped cream cheese!
