High-Protein Greek Yogurt Bagels (Printable)

Soft, chewy bagels with Greek yogurt and savory everything seasoning, perfect for a protein-rich snack or breakfast.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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 (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix 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 dough remains sticky.
05 - Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into an 8-inch rope and pinch the ends together to form a bagel shape.
06 - Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with beaten egg.
07 - Sprinkle each bagel generously with everything bagel seasoning. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
08 - Remove from oven and allow bagels to cool slightly before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You get ten grams of protein per bagel without any weird protein powder aftertaste—just pure, simple ingredients.
  • No yeast to proof, no water bath to manage, which means you can make these on a random weekday morning without planning ahead.
  • The everything seasoning creates that satisfying crunch that makes a plain bagel feel like the real deal.
02 -
  • Greek yogurt brands vary in thickness and moisture content, so if your dough feels too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time instead of all at once—you want to adjust as you go.
  • Don't over-knead or overwork the dough; these bagels stay tender because you're being gentle with them, not because of any special ingredient.
03 -
  • The egg wash isn't just for looks—it helps the seasoning adhere and gives you that authentic bagel shine that makes people think you know what you're doing.
  • If your everything seasoning is store-bought and feels one-dimensional, toast your own blend at home with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and coarse salt to deepen the flavors.
