High-Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels (Print Version)

Chewy bagels enriched with Greek yogurt and everything seasoning for a savory, protein-packed treat.

# Ingredient List:

→ Dough

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Topping

05 - 1 large egg, beaten
06 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
05 - Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each piece into a rope approximately 7-8 inches long, then connect the ends and pinch to seal, forming a bagel shape.
06 - Arrange bagels on the prepared baking sheet with adequate spacing.
07 - Brush each bagel with beaten egg, then generously sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
08 - Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
09 - Remove from oven and allow bagels to cool slightly before serving.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • These bagels pack 10 grams of protein per piece without tasting like a fitness experiment, so they actually satisfy you.
  • No boiling required, which means you can make them on a weeknight without turning your kitchen into a steam room.
  • The everything seasoning does all the flavor work, so even if you've never made bagels before, they taste like you know what you're doing.
02 -
  • Don't skip the kneading step even though it feels unnecessary—those 2-3 minutes actually develop the gluten and give you that chewy bagel texture instead of a crumbly mess.
  • If your dough feels too sticky, you can add a tablespoon of flour, but not all Greek yogurts are created equal, so taste the dough with your hands first before assuming you need to fix it.
03 -
  • Use a pastry brush for the egg wash instead of your fingers, which sounds precious but actually makes the whole operation feel intentional and keeps your hands clean.
  • Don't skip the everything bagel seasoning—it's not optional flavor, it's the entire point, so buy the good stuff and use it generously.
