Equipment
- 1 pastry brush
- 1 sheet of parchment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups 5% fat greek yogurt
- 1 large egg or egg white for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Protein Bagels:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Mix in the greek yogurt until the dough starts to come together. Lay the dough out on a floured surface and use your hands to knead the dough for about 8 minutes until it’s smooth and soft to touch. (If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a bit of flour until it’s smooth.) Once you’re done kneading, the dough should spring back slightly when you press your fingers into it.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces, weighing about 95 grams each. Roll each piece into a 8-inch log and bring the two ends together to form a bagel shape. Use the palm of your hand to roll the two ends together until the circle shape is intact. Place the bagel on the baking sheet. Repeat these steps until all of your bagels are on the baking sheet.
- Brush each bagel with egg wash or egg white to help the toppings stick. Sprinkle each bagel with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and pillowy.
Protein Bagel Sandwiches:
- To make them into sandwiches, it's easy! Let them cool until you can handle the bagels. Slice them in half.
- Brush each of the halves of bagels with butter.
- In a large skillet, set over medium-low, add a teaspoon or two of butter. When melted add in the beaten eggs. Cook until just scrambled. I like my eggs fluffy!
- To assemble the sandwiches, add a spoonful or two of scrambled eggs, top with a slice of cheese of choice,
