Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Silicone spatula or wooden spoon.
- Clean work surface
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush (optional, for egg wash)
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or 2%, thick and strained
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg for egg wash, optional but recommended
Optional Toppings
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Shredded cheese
- Flaky salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. It may look a little crumbly at first—keep mixing. It will come together.
- Once the dough starts to hold, use your hands to gently knead it in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 1–2 minutes, just until smooth. Don’t overwork it.
Step 3: Shape the Bagels
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then gently poke a hole through the center with your finger and stretch it slightly to form a bagel shape.
- Place each bagel on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Toppings
- If using an egg wash, beat the egg lightly and brush it over the tops of the bagels. Sprinkle with your desired toppings while the surface is still wet.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- That’s it. Warm, homemade protein bagels—no drama involved.
