Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups self-raising flour or all purpose flour (I've used whole wheat but white works too)
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder (only add if using plain all purpose flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (I've used non-fat)
- Pinch of sea salt
Toppings (optional)
- Glaze - egg wash or oil spray
Seasoning - I've added homemade everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°CIn a large bowl, add the self-raising flour with a pinch of salt along with the yogurt (if using plain flour, add the baking powder). Mix together with a spoon until it forms a big ball, it's also easier to use your hands to help form the ball
- Transfer dough to a clean kitchen counter lightly dusted with flour and knead for a few minutes until a smooth consistency is achieved with no clumps. *If it's too wet or sticky, sprinkle a little more flour until it's easier to knead
- Roll dough into a ball and cut into 4 equal pieces. Then roll these into balls
- Make them into bagel shape by poking a hole in the middle and gently stretching the dough using your fingers to shape it evenly - it should look like a donut*The bagels will rise once cooked from all angles, so ensure the hole is big enough or it will close up**You can also use a different method by rolling each ball into a thick rope shape and joining the two ends together, pressing to seal
- Place bagels onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper *Optional - brush each bagel with egg wash or olive oil spray and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning. Using your fingers gently press seasoning into the dough to stick
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown depending on your oven strength - my oven takes the full 30 minutesRest bagels for 10-15 minutes on a cooling rack before slicing in half. Toast the insides if preferred, add your favourite toppings such as my breakfast bagel sandwich and enjoy your homemade Protein Bagels!

Notes
- Baking Powder - if using all purpose flour instead of self-rising, add baking powder for that puff
- Kneading - if it's too sticky and hard to work with, add a little more flour as needed. I've noticed, different brands of Greek yogurt result in different dough textures, so just slowly add more as required until a smooth consistency is achieved
