Make homemade protein bagels with just five ingredients and no yeast! These chewy, golden bagels are packed with 10g of protein each thanks to full-fat Greek yogurt. Perfect for weekly meal prep, breakfast sandwiches, or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

Scale

2¼ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1½ cups Greek yogurt (full fat preferred)

1 egg white, lightly beaten (optional for topping)

Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until it starts to come together. Use your hands if needed.
  4. Turn dough onto a clean surface and divide into 6 equal parts.
  5. Roll each into a rope (about 7–8 inches) and pinch the ends together to form bagels.
  6. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and firm.
  8. Let cool before slicing. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.

Notes

  • You can use self-rising flour: Swap in 2¼ cups of that and just ¼ tsp salt, skip the baking powder.
  • Want to air fry instead? Preheat to 300ºF, cook for 15–20 minutes till golden and puffed.
  • Try shredded cheddar and jalapeños in the dough for a fun twist.
  • These freeze well! Just slice before freezing for easy toasting later.
