Description

These high protein bagels are soft, chewy, and made with Greek yogurt for an easy, healthy twist. Packed with over 10g of protein per serving, they’re perfect for meal prep or a filling breakfast on busy mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything seasoning


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  • Mix the dry ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

  • Add Greek yogurt
    Add Greek yogurt to the dry mix. Stir with a spatula or spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

  • Knead the dough
    Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough for 1–2 minutes, just until smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.

  • Shape the bagels
    Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and pinch ends to form a bagel shape.

  • Add egg wash and toppings
    Transfer the shaped bagels to your prepared baking sheet. Brush each with beaten egg and add toppings as desired.

  • Bake until golden
    Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bagels are cooked through. Cool slightly and enjoy warm or toasted.

Notes

  • Flour matters: If dough feels too sticky, dust with a little extra flour. But don’t overdo it — a slightly tacky dough gives you that chewy bagel texture.

  • Toppings tip: Press them in gently after egg wash so they stick better while baking.

  • Storage: These keep well for up to 3 days at room temp or freeze beautifully for quick breakfasts. Reheat in the toaster oven for best texture.

  • Greek yogurt: Full-fat gives richer flavor, but low-fat still works great. Avoid flavored yogurts (unless you’re going sweet!).
