Protein Bagels Greek Yogurt (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Bagel Dough

01 - 1½ cups Greek yogurt
02 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 - 4 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 2¼ cups flour (all-purpose or bread)

→ Topping

05 - Sesame seeds or everything bagel mix
06 - 1 egg white, whisked lightly

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the rack in the middle position. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper and put it aside.
02 - Grab a big bowl and mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together well. Add the yogurt in and stir until a dough takes shape. Use your hands toward the end to make sure everything’s combined.
03 - Put the dough on a clean counter. Lightly flour it if it's sticky, but you might not have to. Cut it into six even pieces.
04 - Roll each piece into a thick rope, around 7-8 inches, and stick the ends together to make a circle. Press the seam gently with your hand, roll it on the counter a bit to seal, and let the rings puff up on the tray for 5-10 minutes.
05 - Grab one bagel, spread a little egg white over the top using a brush, and sprinkle with your seasoning. Put it back on the tray and do the same for the others.
06 - Pop the tray into the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes. They’re done when the tops turn golden. Move them to a cooling rack and leave them alone for 10 minutes before slicing.
07 - Once they’re cooler, cut them in half and toast if you’d like. Spread cream cheese or add your favorite toppings. Keep leftovers in a sealed container for up to four days.

# Notes:

01 - These are a quick, protein-packed option with about 10 grams per bagel, thanks to Greek yogurt in place of yeast.
02 - You can swap out the main ingredients with self-rising flour (2¼ cups) and a pinch of salt instead of the listed flour, salt, and baking powder.
03 - For an air fryer variation, warm it up to 300°F, then cook the bagels for 15-20 minutes until the outside turns golden.
04 - Switch up the toppings with options like dried garlic or onion, or try out a Jalapeño and Cheddar style.
