02 - 1 cup vanilla protein powder
03 - 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
04 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - 1 cup warm water at 110°F
07 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
→ Cinnamon Swirl
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - ¼ cup brown sugar
10 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

11 - 2 quarts water
12 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
→ Vanilla Greek Yogurt Glaze
13 - ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
14 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
15 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
16 - 1 to 2 teaspoons milk
# Method:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, vanilla protein powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together to distribute ingredients evenly.
02 - In a small bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in warm water at 110°F. Let sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy and shows signs of activation.
03 - Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the dry ingredient mixture. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 6 to 8 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
05 - Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm location for 30 to 40 minutes until doubled in volume.
06 - While dough rises, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined and spreadable.
07 - Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 10 by 14 inch rectangle, approximately ¼ inch thick.
08 - Spread the cinnamon butter mixture evenly across the entire surface of the dough rectangle.
09 - Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a log shape. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
10 - Roll each piece into a tight ball, then poke a hole through the center with your thumb. Gently stretch and shape each piece into a bagel form with a consistent hole.
11 - Arrange shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
12 - Preheat your oven to 375°F and position the rack to the center.
13 - Bring 2 quarts of water with honey to a gentle boil in a large saucepan. Carefully place bagels into the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and return to the baking sheet.
14 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until bagels develop a golden brown exterior. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
15 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon milk until smooth. Add additional milk as needed to reach desired drizzling consistency.
16 - Once bagels have cooled to room temperature, drizzle the vanilla Greek yogurt glaze over each bagel. Serve immediately or store for later consumption.
