Why You’ll Love Greek Yogurt Bagels

Who doesn’t love a good bagel? Unfortunately, regular homemade bagels can take 2 hours to prepare. These bagels are ready in about 40 minutes and are high in protein. The Greek yogurt simplifies this recipe while making each bagel have 9.5 grams of protein.

The base of the bagel is Greek yogurt, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add your favorite seasonings to make delicious high protein bagels. I made savory everything bagels and sweet cinnamon bagels. Lots of ways to enjoy Greek yogurt bagels for breakfast!

Ingredients

• Greek yogurt: provides moisture to the dough and makes these bagels high in protein. Greek yogurt works because it is thick. Regular yogurt will make the dough too sticky.

• Flour: the carb source. I used all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour should also work well.

• Baking powder: makes the bagels rise.

• Salt: helps strengthen dough to help them rise.

• Egg: used for an egg wash on top of the bagels to give them shine and help the toppings stick. One egg can be used for four batches of this recipe.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Bagels

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt (if making cinnamon bagels, add 2 tsp cinnamon).

Add yogurt to bowl. Use a wooden or silicone spatula to mix dough. Clumps should start to form. Use your hands to fully combine.

Flour a large cutting board or surface to knead dough. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then slightly flatten.

Form a hole in the middle (you can use the end of a measuring spoon to poke the hole). Another method is to roll the dough into a log and join the ends to create a circle. If dough is sticky, add a little flour.

Place bagels on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk egg for the egg wash. Brush each bagel with egg wash and top with everything bagel seasoning (or cinnamon). Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until tops are slightly golden. Let cool before slicing.  

Try Different Toppings

You can’t go wrong with a classic everything bagel! I also made cinnamon bagels by mixing cinnamon with the flour. You can use any seasonings you like to make your favorite bagels. Add ingredients in with the dough or just on top. A few ideas:

• Garlic and herbs
• Shredded cheese
• Pumpkin spice
• Chocolate chips
• Cocoa powder

How to Store Greek Yogurt Bagels

You can store Greek Yogurt Bagels In a sealed container on the counter for 2 days, in the refrigerator for a week, or in the freezer for 2 months.

Tips

• Don’t be afraid to mix the dough with your hands. It works faster than with a spatula.
