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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
