Craft these chewy, golden high protein bagels in your own kitchen with this easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for a healthy and satisfying breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) All-purpose flour or Bread flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1 cup (220g) Plain, thick Greek Yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- Optional Toppings: Everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, cheese
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, salt, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic but slightly tacky. Adjust with tiny amounts of flour or water if needed.
- 2. Shape the Bagels: Divide dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then poke a hole in the center with your thumb. Gently stretch the hole to about 1-1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring even thickness. Place shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 3. Boil for Chewiness: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bring a wide pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop 2-3 bagels into boiling water; boil for 30-60 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Whisk the egg and water for the egg wash. Brush generously over each bagel. Sprinkle with desired toppings. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
- 5. Cool & Enjoy: Transfer baked bagels to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. This improves texture.
