High Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels

The aroma of freshly baked bread wafts through your kitchen as you bite into a warm, chewy High Protein Greek Yogurt Bagel. Each bite delivers a delightful blend of tangy yogurt and the satisfying texture of a traditional bagel. Perfectly toasted with cream cheese or topped with avocado, these bagels are sure to elevate your breakfast game.

I still remember the first time I made these bagels. It was a rainy Saturday morning when I decided to experiment in the kitchen. The result? A deliciously satisfying creation that quickly became a family favorite. Picture this: warm bagels fresh out of the oven, ready to be devoured while you sip your coffee and laugh at your favorite sitcom.

I still chuckle when I think about the first batch I made—the dough was more like a sticky science experiment gone wrong than anything resembling a bagel! My family cheered me on (or maybe they were just laughing at my flour-covered apron).

Essential Ingredients

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

• Greek Yogurt: Choose plain full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt for the best flavor and texture in your bagels.
• All-Purpose Flour: Use unbleached all-purpose flour for optimal gluten development; it gives the dough its structure.
• Baking Powder: This leavening agent helps the bagels rise, creating that perfect chewy texture we all love.
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the flavors in your dough; don’t skip it!
• Egg (optional): Adding an egg wash before baking gives the bagels a beautiful golden color and extra sheen.

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

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it lightly with cooking spray for easy cleanup.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The smell of flour will fill the air—don’t sneeze!

Add the Greek Yogurt: Fold in the Greek yogurt using a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is moistened but not overly mixed. You want that dough to be slightly shaggy but not sticky.

Knead Gently: Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Knead it gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth but be careful not to overdo it; we want soft bagels here!

Shape into Bagels: Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 4-6) and roll each piece into a ball. Poke a hole in the center of each ball and stretch it gently to form a ring shape.

Bake Them Up: Place your shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. If using an egg wash, brush them now! Bake for 20-25 minutes until they’re golden brown and fragrant—your kitchen is going to smell amazing!

These High Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels are so versatile—you can top them with anything from classic cream cheese to smoked salmon or even peanut butter if you’re feeling adventurous!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by mixing Greek yogurt and flour until combined, then knead briefly. Shape into bagels while boiling water in a pot for two minutes to create that chewy exterior.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor. You can also top them with seeds or cheese before baking for a special twist.

Storing & Reheating

Store bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them and toast when ready to enjoy.

I remember the first time I made High Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels; my kids devoured them before they even cooled down! Their delighted faces were priceless.
