Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

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

Greek Yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for best results; it gives the dough its delightful moisture and protein boost.
Baking Powder: This will help the bagels rise beautifully in the oven and give them that classic texture.
All-Purpose Flour: A staple in any kitchen; choose unbleached flour for better flavor and texture.
Salt: Just a pinch enhances all the flavors without overpowering them—don’t skip this essential ingredient!
Egg (for egg wash): Optional but recommended; brushing with egg gives your bagels a shiny, golden crust.

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

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt and baking powder until smooth. Gradually add flour and salt to form a soft dough that holds together nicely.

Knead Like You Mean It: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes. You want it to be slightly sticky but still manageable—think of it as giving your dough some love!

Shape Those Bagels: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Poke your finger through the center and stretch gently to form your signature bagel shape.

Boil Before Baking: Bring water to a boil in a large pot and carefully drop each shaped bagel in one at a time. Boil for about 30 seconds per side—this step creates that perfect chewy texture we crave!

Bake Until Golden Brown: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while boiling. Place boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with egg wash if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Now you have crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside high protein Greek yogurt bagels ready to devour!

Enjoying these delightful treats doesn’t require any special occasion; they’re perfect whenever you want something satisfying yet nutritious. Pair them with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or just plain butter—the possibilities are endless!

And there you have it—a simple yet delicious recipe that transforms everyday ingredients into something spectacular. Watch out world; these high protein Greek yogurt bagels are about to become your new favorite thing!
