High Protein Bagels Recipe
These high protein bagels are chewy, golden, and ridiculously easy to make with just Greek yogurt, bread flour, and a handful of pantry staples. No yeast, no boiling, no fuss. They come together in about 45 minutes and taste like a cross between a classic bagel and sourdough bread. Perfect for meal prep, breakfast sandwiches, or toasted with your favorite toppings. Finally, a protein bagel that doesn't taste like cardboard.

Notes
- Fage 0% is strongly recommended. Thinner yogurts create a sticky, hard-to-handle dough.
- Always weigh flour rather than measuring by volume for consistent results.
- Slice bagels before freezing for easy toasting straight from the freezer.
