Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 2 tsp cinnamon (if making cinnamon bagels)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (thick consistency recommended)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Cinnamon
  • Shredded cheese
  • Garlic & herbs
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you want cinnamon bagels, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry mix.
  3. Incorporate Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a dough starts to come together. Then knead the dough gently with your hands until smooth and slightly sticky.
  4. Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, flatten slightly, and create a hole in the center by poking it with a spoon handle or rolling into a log and joining the ends to form a circle.
  5. Egg Wash & Toppings: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it evenly over each bagel. Sprinkle your favorite toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, garlic herbs, or shredded cheese for added flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown on top.
  7. Cool & Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delightful high-protein Greek yogurt bagels!

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for the best dough texture; thin yogurt will make the dough too wet.
  • For a whole wheat version, substitute all-purpose flour fully or partially with whole wheat flour.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven to avoid overbaking.
  • Feel free to experiment with toppings to customize the flavor.
  • This recipe yields 4 medium sized bagels, perfect for individual servings.
