  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (flavor of your choice)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup protein powder, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup Greek yogurt with 1 large egg until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Lightly flour your hands and surface. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball and poke a hole in the center, stretching it to form a bagel shape.
  6. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with water or egg wash if desired. Sprinkle optional toppings.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Rotate the tray halfway for even baking.
  8. Transfer bagels to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Bagels can be customized with herbs, seeds, dried fruits, or cheese.

Dough is slightly sticky; avoid adding too much flour.
