Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Greek Yogurt: Use plain full-fat or non-fat yogurt for creaminess and protein boost.
All-Purpose Flour: Regular flour works best here; however, you can substitute half with whole wheat if desired.
Baking Powder: This helps the bagels rise beautifully; don’t skip it!
Salt: Essential for flavor—just a pinch elevates the taste.
Egg (optional): Adds richness and can be used for egg wash; makes them glossy.
Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional): For those who love extra flavor; sprinkle generously before baking!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat and Prepare Your Workspace: First things first—preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so those lovely bagels don’t stick.

Mix Your Dough: In a large bowl, combine your flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well before adding in that creamy Greek yogurt until a dough forms.

Knead Away: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until smooth. It should feel slightly tacky but not sticky.

Shape Those Bagels: Divide your dough into equal pieces—about six works well. Roll each piece into a ball then poke a hole in the center with your finger and stretch slightly to form a ring.

Add Optional Toppings: If you’re feeling fancy (and why not?), brush each bagel with beaten egg and sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning for extra crunch and flavor.

Bake to Perfection: Place your shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown and fill your kitchen with heavenly aromas.

Once they are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before slicing into these fluffy wonders! Enjoy them plain or slathered with cream cheese or avocado—the options are endless!

Now that you have this delightful recipe for high protein Greek yogurt bagels under your belt, may you enjoy every bite as much as my family does!
