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
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!

Cindy on 2026-04-03 (5 stars): Made these for the time this week. They were easy and delicious!
Josephine on 2026-03-04 (5 stars): I've made these bagels many times before. But now, because i started eating glutenfree and dairy free I tried your protein recipes again using GF flour and vegan greek yogurt. It works great! I used all purpose GF flour, almond flour and oat flour.. for yogurt I used soy and coconut. It all works great. Also for the pizza recipe and the flatbread recipe.. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes, i loved all the recipes i tried so far! I also think you have such a nice l, bright and warm personality! Thank you Ayeh :)
Micah P on 2026-02-23 (5 stars): My boys LOVE these! Unfortunately I'm gluten and dairy free, but these are a great option for the guys in my house! Husband & toddler approved!
Chanel on 2026-02-15 (5 stars): I made these a few times and they always turn out great. I added red food coloring to the Greek yogurt and mixed it well before adding the flour and baking powder. I made these valentines themed for my husband.
Jill on 2026-01-15 (5 stars): Really good and super fast & easy.
Julie on 2025-09-10 (5 stars): This is delicious and healthy. I added chopped apples and cinnamon to the “batter” and then sprinkled cinnamon on top after the egg wash. It added great flavor
Pat on 2025-04-13 (4 stars): Looked pretty good . Easy recipe to follow, I used poppy seeds to top, should have pushed them down pre bake, also used plain flour, white but cant wait to make them up for lunch with salad. Thanks Ayeh, these will be a staple
