Fluffy baked bagels enriched with Greek yogurt and protein, topped with savory everything seasoning.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup (30 g) unflavored whey protein powder
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 cup (240 g) nonfat Greek yogurt

→ Topping

06 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
07 - 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash (optional)

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
03 - Add Greek yogurt and mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
05 - Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, then form into a bagel shape, pinching ends to seal.
06 - Place bagels onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for a glossy finish (optional).
07 - Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
08 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • High protein means you're actually full until lunch, not hunting for snacks by 10 a.m.
  • Made in 35 minutes total, which fits into real life instead of requiring advanced planning.
  • Everything seasoning does the heavy lifting flavor-wise, so no fussing with complicated toppings.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step thinking you're saving time; soggy bagels are worse than lukewarm bagels, and that rack makes all the difference.
  • Greek yogurt amounts matter because you're not using water, and too much makes them gummy while too little makes them dry.
03 -
  • Weigh your ingredients if you bake regularly, because cups can vary wildly and weight is the only honest measurement.
  • Brush your bagels with egg wash and let it sit for a minute before sprinkling seasoning so it actually adheres instead of falling off in the oven.
