Protein Bagels Greek Yogurt (Print)

Soft, protein-packed bagels enriched with Greek yogurt, sprinkled with classic everything seasoning.

# Components:

→ Dough

01 - 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 cup white whole wheat flour
04 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Topping

06 - 1 large egg
07 - 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.

04 - Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until the texture becomes smooth and cohesive.

06 - Place shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
07 - Beat the egg and brush generously over the tops of each bagel. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in under an hour and taste indulgently chewy despite being packed with 11 grams of protein per bagel.
  • The everything seasoning is the real showstopper—that savory, garlicky crust makes your whole kitchen smell like a proper bagel shop.
02 -
  • Don't overknead this dough or they'll turn tough and chewy in the wrong way—2-3 minutes is genuinely enough because the baking powder is doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
  • The egg wash is non-negotiable for that bagel shop appearance, but more importantly, it helps the seasoning adhere so you get a proper crunchy, flavorful exterior.
03 -
  • Buy good everything bagel seasoning—the cheap stuff tastes like salt and regret, while a quality blend with visible seeds completely transforms the eating experience.
  • If you're making these for guests, bake them the night before and reheat in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes, which restores the crust beautifully.
