Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine high-protein flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, salt, and honey. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead and Shape

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel.

Boil the Bagels

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Apply Egg Wash and Seasoning

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each bagel with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with the Everything Seasoning Mix.

Bake

Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let the bagels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Storage Tips

To keep your Protein Bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want to extend their shelf life, consider freezing them. To freeze, place the bagels in a resealable plastic bag, ensuring to remove as much air as possible before sealing.

When you're ready to enjoy one, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it in a toaster or oven. This way, you can savor a warm, fresh bagel any time you like!

Nutritional Information

Each Protein Bagel is packed with essential nutrients, primarily due to the high-protein flour and Greek yogurt. A typical bagel contains around 15-20 grams of protein, making it a substantial option for breakfast or a post-workout snack. Additionally, these bagels are low in sugar, which is crucial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Feel free to pair your bagel with fresh fruits or vegetables to increase your fiber intake, making your meal even more balanced and wholesome.

Serving Suggestions

For a satisfying breakfast, top your Protein Bagel with avocado and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an added kick. Alternatively, a classic combination of cream cheese and smoked salmon can elevate the bagel to a gourmet level.

For a sweet twist, try spreading almond butter and slices of banana on your bagel. This combination not only tastes great but also adds extra nutrition to your meal, making it a delightful option for any time of the day.
