Why You’ll Love This Recipe

If you’ve been looking for a high protein bagel that’s genuinely easy — no yeast, no proofing, no boiling and no water — this is the one to save. Just three main ingredients in one bowl, and the Greek yogurt does all the work: it gives the dough its moisture, its chew and a real protein boost. They’re soft, golden and endlessly customisable with your favourite toppings.

Ingredients You’ll Need

(Full measurements in the recipe card below)

  • All-purpose flour — the structure of the bagel. Self-rising flour works too (skip the baking powder if you use it).
  • High-protein Greek yogurt — the star. Use thick, strained Greek yogurt for the best dough and the highest protein. Thin or runny yogurt will make the dough sticky.
  • Baking powder — gives the bagels their lift without yeast.
  • Oil or egg — brushed on top for colour and shine. Oil keeps them fully vegetarian.
  • Bagel seasoning — everything-bagel blend, sesame, or your own mix.

Ingredient Swaps and Substitutions

Ingredient Swap
All-purpose flour Self-rising flour (skip the baking powder), whole wheat flour, or a 1:1 gluten free blend. Wholemeal will need a touch more yogurt
Greek yogurt Thick hung curd works beautifully and keeps the protein high. Avoid runny yogurt — the dough will be too wet to shape
Baking powder Not needed if you use self-rising flour, which already contains a raising agent
Egg wash Oil or a little plant milk for a vegetarian or vegan-friendly finish. Egg gives a shinier, deeper golden crust
Bagel seasoning Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything blend, flaky salt, or leave plain
⚠️ Use thick yogurt and don’t add water: The number one reason this dough goes wrong is thin, watery yogurt. Use thick, strained Greek yogurt and resist adding any water — the yogurt has all the moisture the flour needs. If the dough feels sticky, dust in a little extra flour rather than reaching for water.

How to Make It — Step by Step

1

Make the Dough

Add the flour, Greek yogurt and baking powder to a mixing bowl and bring everything together into a dough. Do not add water — the yogurt provides all the moisture the dough needs.

2

Weigh & Portion

Once a nice dough forms, weigh it and divide into 8 equal portions. Weighing the portions keeps them the same size so they bake evenly.

3

Shape the Bagels

Lightly dust your surface with flour. Take each portion, roll it into a rope and join the ends to give it a bagel shape.

4

Brush & Season

Once all the bagels are shaped, brush each one with oil or egg. I use oil so even vegetarians can enjoy them. Sprinkle over your bagel seasoning.

5

Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the bagels turn light golden brown.

6

Cool & Enjoy

Let the bagels cool for about 10 minutes so they finish cooking through on the inside. Add your favourite toppings and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Result

Use thick Greek yogurt

Strained, thick Greek yogurt gives a dough you can actually shape and the highest protein. Runny yogurt makes it sticky and hard to work with.

Weigh your portions

Dividing the dough by weight into 8 equal pieces means every bagel bakes evenly — no small ones burning while big ones stay raw.

No water, ever

The yogurt carries all the moisture. If the dough feels sticky, add a dusting of flour instead of water — extra water makes the bagels dense.

Let them cool

Resist cutting in straight away. Ten minutes of cooling lets the inside finish setting so the crumb isn’t gummy.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow much protein is in these bagels?

It depends on the yogurt you use. With a thick, high-protein Greek yogurt these come in around 8–10g of protein per bagel. Choosing a higher-protein yogurt brand pushes each bagel closer to (or over) 10g.

QDo I need yeast for these bagels?

No. There’s no yeast and no proofing time — the baking powder gives the lift, so you go straight from dough to oven.

QWhy is my dough too sticky?

Usually the yogurt is too thin. Use thick, strained Greek yogurt, and if it’s still sticky, dust in a little extra flour — never add water.

QCan I make these without egg?

Yes — that’s exactly why I brush mine with oil instead of egg, so they stay vegetarian. A little plant milk also works for the top.

QCan I make them gluten free?

Use a good 1:1 gluten free flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour. The texture will be a little different but they still bake up well.
