These Protein Bagels are a quick, easy, and healthy homemade recipe using Greek yogurt and self-raising flour, perfect for a high-protein breakfast or snack. They boast a soft, chewy texture with a slightly tangy flavor from the yogurt. Topped optionally with an egg wash and everything bagel seasoning, they provide a delicious, protein-packed alternative to store-bought bagels without any yeast or long rising times.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 ½ cups self-raising flour or all-purpose flour (whole wheat or white)
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder (only if using plain all-purpose flour)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat is used)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Toppings (optional)

  • Glaze – egg wash or oil spray
  • Seasoning – homemade everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and pinch of sea salt. If you’re using plain all-purpose flour instead, add 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder to ensure the bagels rise properly.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt: Add 1 cup of Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Using a spoon or your hands, mix until a dough forms. The dough should be firm but sticky and not overly wet.
  3. Shape the bagels: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into equal portions (typically 4-6 depending on desired size). Roll each portion into a ball and then poke a hole through the center with your finger, stretching it to form a bagel shape.
  4. Apply glaze and toppings: If using, brush the bagels lightly with egg wash or oil spray to help toppings adhere and produce a golden crust. Sprinkle your homemade everything bagel seasoning or other desired toppings evenly over each bagel.
  5. Bake the bagels: Place the shaped and topped bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or toasted with your favorite spreads or toppings.

Notes

  • You can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour, but be sure to add baking powder for leavening.
  • Non-fat Greek yogurt is preferred for a lower calorie and higher protein content, but you can use regular Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • Adjust baking time depending on your oven; bagels should be golden and firm when done.
  • These bagels do not require boiling before baking, simplifying the traditional process.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
