When experimenting with different recipes, I was surprised at how easily these Protein Bagels came together. I used a combination of Greek yogurt and self-rising flour to create a dough that was both simple and satisfying. The result is a chewy bagel with a delightful crust that’s packed with protein.

One key tip I discovered is to really pack on the Everything Seasoning before baking. This not only gives the bagels a beautiful look but also enhances the flavor tremendously. Each bite is bursting with deliciousness, making them a perfect addition to my morning routine!

Understanding the Ingredients

The key to achieving that delightful chewy texture in these Protein Bagels lies in the use of self-rising flour combined with Greek yogurt. Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, allowing your bagels to rise beautifully without additional leavening agents. This combination also contributes to their high protein content, which is vital for keeping you satiated for longer periods. If you need a gluten-free option, consider trying a gluten-free self-rising flour, adjusting the proportions as needed to ensure the texture remains consistent.

Greek yogurt is not only a fantastic source of protein but also contributes moisture to the dough. This ingredient plays a crucial role in binding the flour and creating a harmonious dough. The tanginess of the yogurt also enhances the flavor of the bagels, making every bite a delight. If you're out of Greek yogurt, a plain, thick yogurt or even a plant-based yogurt can work, though the flavor profile might slightly differ.

Shaping and Baking Tips

When shaping your bagels, it's important to create a well-defined hole in the center to ensure even cooking. Aim for about a 1-1.5 inch hole, as it will shrink during baking. After forming each bagel, you can place them on the prepared baking sheet with space in between, allowing for expansion. If you prefer a smoother surface, wetting your hands while shaping the dough can help minimize stickiness and create that glossy finish.

During baking, keep an eye on your bagels after the 20-minute mark. They should be turning golden brown on the tops and feel firm to the touch. If you notice they are browning too quickly, you can reduce the oven temperature slightly. For a crispier exterior, place them on the top rack of the oven, where heat is more intense, but be careful not to burn them.

Ingredients

Gather these simple ingredients to get started:

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg (for egg wash)
3 tablespoons Everything Seasoning
1 teaspoon salt

Mix these ingredients well to create your dough.

Instructions

Follow these steps to make your bagels:

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and salt until a sticky dough forms.

Shape the bagels

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.

Apply egg wash

Beat the egg and brush it over each bagel for a golden finish.

Add seasoning

Generously sprinkle Everything Seasoning on top of the bagels.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.

Cool and serve

Let the bagels cool on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying.

Serve these fresh bagels with your favorite toppings.

Pro Tips

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough. You can also try incorporating cheese or other seasonings into the bagel itself before shaping.

Serving Suggestions

These Protein Bagels are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in numerous ways. For a classic breakfast option, top them with cream cheese and smoked salmon, or spread avocado for a healthier twist. Alternatively, if you're feeling adventurous, try adding sliced turkey and hummus for a protein-packed snack, or a sweet option with almond butter and sliced bananas for a post-workout treat.

If you're planning to serve these bagels at a gathering, consider variety by making different toppings available, such as pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, or even a touch of honey. This not only enhances the overall experience but also caters to diverse tastes.

Storage and Reheating

To maintain freshness, store any leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. Wrap each bagel tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months; just remember to label them with the date for reference.

When you're ready to enjoy a frozen bagel, simply remove it from the freezer and reheat it in a toaster or oven. For oven reheating, place it at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warm and slightly crispy again. Avoid microwaving them unless necessary, as this can lead to a chewy texture instead of the desired bagel bite.
