how to make Greek Yogurt Bagels: Easy High Protein Bagels
Ingredients :
1 cup all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 egg, everything bagel seasoning (optional), cinnamon (optional)
Directions :
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt (if making cinnamon bagels, add 2 tsp cinnamon).
Add yogurt to bowl. Use a wooden or silicone spatula to mix dough. Clumps should start to form. Use your hands to fully combine. Flour a large cutting board or surface to knead dough. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then slightly flatten. Form a hole in the middle (you can use the end of a measuring spoon to poke the hole). Another method is to roll the dough into a log and join the ends to create a circle. If dough is sticky, add a little flour.
Place bagels on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk egg for the egg wash. Brush each bagel with egg wash and top with everything bagel seasoning (or cinnamon). Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until tops are slightly golden. Let cool before slicing.

FAQs
Q: Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour and baking powder?
A: Yes. Omit the baking powder and salt if you use self-rising flour. Measure one cup of self-rising flour in place of the flour plus baking powder.
Q: Can I make more than four bagels?
A: You can, but the bagels will be smaller. Divide the dough into more pieces and reduce bake time slightly, checking for golden tops.
Q: Can I skip the egg wash?
A: Yes. The egg wash gives a shiny, golden top. You can brush with milk or skip it for a matte finish.
Q: Are these bagels chewy like store-bought bagels?
A: No. These yogurt bagels are softer and less chewy than traditional boiled-and-baked bagels. They are quick and tender.
Q: Can I use low-fat Greek yogurt?
A: Yes. Low-fat yogurt works, but full-fat yogurt gives a richer flavor and better texture.
