Bagels are one of the most delicious foods in the world but they can be pretty heavy on the calories. My favorite is a plain bagel with bacon, egg and cheese, and my fiancé’s favorite is an everything bagel with salmon and cream cheese. I’ve been seeing so many different recipes all over the internet so decided to make my own high protein bagels at home to try and cut some of the calories. Below is an easy and simple recipe that worked best for me and I got it from tishasveggieeats on Instagram, and made a few tweaks. I realized I could also use this dough to make larger pieces of bread so in the pictures below you can see I have various sizes. Happy baking!
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour
- 1 cup of nonfat greek yogurt
- Everything but the bagel seasoning (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Mix together self-rising flour, nonfat greek yogurt, and 70% of your whisked egg (if you’re not using bagel seasoning then you can mix the entire egg)
- As the dough forms, place it on a counter with flour and knead for about two minutes
- Divide the dough into 5 sections, roll each of them out and connect both ends to make a bagel shape
- Top bagels with the remaining 30% of the whisked egg and add the bagel seasoning
- Bake for 20-25 minutes and enjoy the goodness!
