Ingredients & Kitchen Tools

Why each component matters for perfect texture and protein punch:

– Non-fat Greek yogurt (1 cup): Secret binding agent replacing butter/oil. Adds moisture and protein.
– Baking powder (1 tsp): Extra lift guarantee.
– Egg white (1): Shiny, golden crust magic.

Essential Tools:
– Mixing bowl, silicone spatula
– Bagel mold or baking sheet
– Pastry brush (for egg wash)
