Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour (or make your own: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
For Topping (Optional):
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and salt.
- Stir until a dough forms, then knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.
3. Shape the Bagels
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a rope and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
- Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Add Toppings & Bake
- Brush each bagel with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
5. Cool & Serve
- Let the bagels cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings!
Notes
✔ Use thick Greek yogurt – This helps the dough stay firm and not too sticky.
✔ Don’t over-knead – Knead just until smooth to keep the bagels soft.
✔ Add flavor to the dough – Mix in garlic powder, cinnamon, or a pinch of sweetener for variety.
