Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or substitute with whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional: 2 tsp cinnamon (for 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
- 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 and ease cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you’re making cinnamon bagels, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon now and mix thoroughly.
- Incorporate Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to stir until a dough begins to form, then switch to your hands and knead gently until the dough comes together but remains slightly sticky.
- Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, gently flatten it, and create a hole in the center using the handle of a spoon or by rolling the dough into a log and connecting the ends to form the bagel shape.
- Egg Wash & Toppings: In a small bowl, whisk the egg to make an egg wash. Brush each bagel with the egg wash evenly. Sprinkle your choice of toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, cheese, garlic & herbs, or chocolate chips on top.
- Bake: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove bagels from the oven and let them cool on a rack before slicing. Serve fresh and enjoy your homemade high-protein Greek yogurt bagels!
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour to make it easier to handle.
- Kneading the dough with your hands is faster and more effective than using a spatula alone.
- Store bagels at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.
