Easy High-Protein Bagels
If you’ve ever wanted to make bagels at home, you need to try these Easy High-Protein Bagels! With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll get soft, chewy bagels with a crispy exterior—so good you’ll never want store-bought again.
Equipment
- Large bowl
Ingredients
Bagel Dough Recipe
- 200 g bread flour
- 150 g greek yogurt
- 50 g sour cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Egg Wash
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tsp water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well, then add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and sour cream. Stir until a dough forms. Knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough with cling film (plastic wrap) and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a surface and divide it into 4 equal portions (or 6, to make 6 mini bagels) and shape each into a bagel.
- Brush each bagel with egg wash and sprinkle with your favourite toppings. (I love using everything bagel seasoning—recipe below if you don’t have any!)
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the bagels cool before slicing. Serve with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or just a smear of butter.
Notes
💡 Use real Greek yogurt – Not Greek-style yogurt, as it has a different consistency.
💡 Rest the dough – Helps make the bagels softer and chewier.
💡 Add sour cream – Keeps the bagels moist and fresh for days.
💡 Experiment with flavors – Try cinnamon & raisins for a sweet version or garlic & herbs for a savory twist.
