Ingredients
Basic Dough:
- 1 ½ cups 180g self-rising flour (or 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt)
- 1 cup 240g Greek yogurt (or vegan Greek yogurt)
- ½ tsp 3g salt
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1 scoop 30g vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp 1g cinnamon (for sweet bagels)
- 1 tbsp 10g everything bagel seasoning (for savory bagels)
Egg Wash:
- 1 egg beaten (or 2 tbsp plant-based milk for vegan)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix Dough
- In a bowl, I mix 1 ½ cups self-rising flour, ½ tsp salt, and 1 scoop protein powder (if using). I add 1 cup Greek yogurt, stir until a dough forms, and knead on a floured surface for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
Shape Bagels
- I divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll each into a rope, and form a circle, pinching the ends together for neat bagels.
Add Toppings
- I brush each bagel with egg wash (or plant-based milk) and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
Bake and Cool
- I bake for 20–22 minutes until golden brown. I let them cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Enjoy with cream cheese, nut butter, or avocado.
- Pair with a vanilla protein shake for a balanced meal.
- Toast and top with eggs or smoked salmon for a protein-packed breakfast
