Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg (for egg wash)
Everything bagel seasoning (for topping)
Directions
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together.
Add in 1 1/2 cups of Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape.
3. Shape the Bagels:
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and then use your fingers to create a hole in the center, forming the traditional bagel shape.
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Egg Wash and Season:
In a small bowl, whisk one egg to create the egg wash. Brush each bagel generously with the egg wash, which helps give them a golden-brown finish.
Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning on top for extra flavor and crunch.
5. Bake:
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
6. Cool and Enjoy:
Once done, let the bagels cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying. Pair them with your favorite toppings like cream cheese, avocado, or smoked salmon for a delicious and protein-packed meal.
These easy protein bagels are a healthy, homemade alternative to store-bought versions. They are soft, flavorful, and loaded with protein, making them a perfect option to fuel your day!
