These fluffy high protein bagels made with Greek yogurt are easy to make, packed with protein, and have a perfect chewy texture. They’re a healthier alternative to store-bought bagels and perfect for any meal or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) self-rising flour
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (125g) of self-rising flour and 1 cup (240g) of plain Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface and hands. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until it’s smooth and slightly elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour, but don’t overdo it!
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then use your fingers to create a hole in the center, shaping it into a bagel. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Beat 1 egg in a small bowl and brush the tops of the bagels with the egg wash. Add your desired toppings, such as sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t over-knead the dough to keep the bagels tender.’, ‘Press toppings lightly into the dough after brushing the egg wash to ensure they stick.’, ‘Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.’, ‘Avoid fat-free yogurt as it can make the dough too wet and hard to work with.’, ‘Check for doneness by ensuring the bagels are golden and firm.’]
