Protein Bagels

Serves 6

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt, optional

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt, non-fat

1 large large egg, whisked

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (or topping of choice)

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add yogurt.

3. Mix until a dough forms, then use your hands to form into a dough ball.

4. Place the dough ball on a clean surface lightly dusted with flour and gently roll it into a log.

5. Cut log into 6 equal pieces, roll each into a ball, flatten a bit, then create a center hole with your finger or the rounded end of a utensil [like a spatula].

6. Place bagels on the parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg, and sprinkle with your choice of seasoning [garlic powder, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything seasoning, etc.].

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before cutting.

Notes

These can be made in an air fryer:

• Preheat the air-fryer at 325°F for 5 minutes
• Line the base with parchment paper to prevent sticking
• Place bagels in the tray and air-fry for 15 minutes
• Flip bagels and air-fry for an additional 5 minutes to crisp bottoms
