Description

Nutrient-dense, chewy bagels made with whole wheat flour, plain yogurt, and sesame seeds for a savory, protein-rich breakfast or snack. The high-protein base and golden crust offer sustained energy and a soft interior.


Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan)
1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla whey or plant-based)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar (or honey)


Instructions

Measure and combine flour, sesame seeds, salt, and sugar in a bowl
Gradually mix in yogurt until a shaggy dough forms
Cover and let rest 30 minutes
Knead dough 10 minutes on floured surface until smooth
Let ferment 1 hour in oiled bowl
Divide into 8 pieces and flatten into rounds
Stretch center to create a hole and tuck seams
Rest dough shapes 15 minutes
Boil in 190°F water with 1 tbsp sugar per batch for 30-45 seconds
Transfer to baking sheet and sprinkle more sesame seeds
Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes until golden

Notes

Use whole wheat for added fiber. Substitute coconut yogurt for vegan. Boiling step prevents spreading in oven. Best stored in airtight bags for 3-4 days.
