The easiest high protein bagels you’ll ever make!  These 5-ingredient bagels are packed with 10 grams of protein per bagel and perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

2¼ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1½ cup Greek yogurt

1 egg white, lightly beaten

Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. MIX: In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients until mixed. Then add the Greek yogurt and mix together until a dough forms. You might want to use your hands to make this easier!
  3. DIVIDE: Turn the dough out onto a clean surface. Divide it out into 6 equal pieces. If the dough is sticky dust with flour, I didn’t need to.
  4. ROLL: Roll out the dough into a thick rope, about 7-8 inches in length. Join the ends and gently press. Place your hand through the hole gently roll the joining part on the counter so that the ends fuse. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and let sit for 5-10 minutes if possible. This allows the bagels to puff up more.
  5. BRUSH AND SPRINKLE: On a clean plate, place one bagel, brush with the beaten egg white. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning. Place the bagel on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining bagels.
  6. BAKE: Place the pan in the oven and bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or golden brown on top. Remove the bagels to a wire rack and let them rest for 10 minutes or until cooled so you can slice them. Toast if desired and spread with cream cheese.

Notes

  • typically keep on hand. Replace the flour, baking powder, and most of the kosher salt with 2¼ cups self-rising flour. You’ll still need ¼ teaspoon of salt in addition to the flour!
  • Seasonings: You can use an array of seasoning for these bagels. Dehydrated garlic or onion would work too. If you use an everything bagel seasoning with salt, you might want to cut the salt back to ¾ teaspoon to keep the bagels from being too salty.
  • Air Fryer Directions: Preheat the air fryer to 300ºF for at least 5 minutes. Then add the bagels and air fry them for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
  • Variations: If you want to try a variation on this recipe, try my Jalapeño and Cheddar Bagels! They’re made almost exactly the same way!
