Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 egg white (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, protein powder, and baking powder.
- Add Greek yogurt gradually, mixing with a spatula until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center with floured fingers and gently stretch to form a bagel shape.
- Place shaped bagels onto prepared baking sheet.
- Brush tops with egg white for a golden finish. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and firm on top.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use unflavored protein powder to avoid gumminess or artificial aftertaste.
- If dough feels too sticky, lightly flour your hands while shaping.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to dry ingredients for enhanced flavor.
- For a vegan version, use thick plant-based Greek-style yogurt and skip egg wash or use plant milk instead.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
