Ingredients

• For the High-Protein Bagels
  • 2 cups (250 g) white whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup (225 g) nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
• For the Greek Yogurt Everything Dip
  • 1 cup (225 g) nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add Greek yogurt and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead 2–3 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into a 10-inch rope, then form into a bagel shape, pinching ends to seal.

5. Arrange bagels on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.

6. Bake for 22–25 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Cool slightly before serving.

7. For the dip: In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, everything bagel seasoning, chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.

8. Serve warm bagels with the Greek yogurt everything dip.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an extra soft finish, cover the bagels with a clean towel after baking to retain moisture and warmth. Dust your work surface lightly with flour to keep the dough from sticking as you shape the bagels. Use fresh Greek yogurt for best texture and flavor in both the dough and dip.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap part-skim ricotta for Greek yogurt in the dip if you prefer a creamier texture. Add chopped scallions or smoked salmon into the dip for a delicious variation that complements the everything seasoning. Adjust the seasoning levels in the dip to suit your taste.
