High Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels (Printable version)

Soft bagels enriched with Greek yogurt and topped with a flavorful everything seasoning blend.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bagel Dough

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, non-fat or 2%
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Topping

05 - 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash
06 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning blend

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead gently for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth, adding additional flour as needed if sticky.
05 - Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope and pinch the ends together to form a bagel shape.
06 - Place bagels on prepared baking sheet and brush each with beaten egg.
07 - Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each bagel.
08 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Cool slightly before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're done in 40 minutes total, which means bagels for breakfast on a regular Tuesday, not just weekend projects.
  • Greek yogurt packed in means 10 grams of protein per bagel, so you're actually full until lunch.
  • No special equipment or mysterious baker's knowledge required—if you can stir and shape, you've got this.
02 -
  • If your dough feels too wet after adding yogurt, resist the urge to dump in a handful of flour—knead it first, and it will smooth out naturally.
  • Don't skip cooling them slightly; they're still cooking internally right after the oven, and biting into a too-hot bagel will taste dense instead of chewy.
03 -
  • If you like your bagels chewier, add an extra tablespoon of yogurt; if you prefer them more cake-like, use one less.
  • Make the everything seasoning yourself if you want to adjust salt levels or add dried herbs—it's just toasted seeds and dried aromatics mixed together.
