Protein Bagels

My protein bagels need just three key ingredients and pack in over 30 grams of protein each! They are crisp, fluffy, and soft. Watch how I make this in my kitchen in the video below!

Ingredients

1/2 cup Self rising flour * See notes
1/2 cup Unflavored protein powder ** See notes
1 cup Greek yogurt non-fat
1 large egg white

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, protein powder, and yogurt, mixing until well incorporated. Using your hands, gently knead together until smooth. If the dough is too thick, add more flour. If the dough is too thin, add a little more yogurt.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into eight equal portions and shape each portion into bagels. Place them on the lined baking sheet and brush with egg white. Sprinkle with your favorite bagel toppings.
Bake the bagels for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove the bagels from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

* High protein flour by Vetta contains 21 extra grams of protein per serving. Standard self rising flour or a mix of self rising flour and unflavored protein powder can be used.

** If you don’t want to use protein powder, add more self rising flour.

Add toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything but the bagel seasoning, etc.

Gluten-free: Use gluten-free self rising flour.

Make these in the air fryer. Follow the exact same process as my air fryer bagels. Place the bagel dough in a preheated air fryer basket and air fry at 200C/400F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Use the right protein powder. If you choose to add protein powder, be sure it is unflavored and a blend, not straight whey protein powder. I've found through testing that the latter dries out the bagels (or any baked goods, for that matter).

TO STORE: Leftover bagels can be stored at room temperature, covered, for up to 3 days. To keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator.

TO FREEZE: Place cooled bagels in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to six months.

REHEATING: Slice the bagels in half and toast them before adding your favorite spreads and/or fillings.
