Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt)
- 1/2 scoop unflavored or savory protein powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dough: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, protein powder (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough gently for 1–2 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into 12 equal small balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash and Season: Brush the tops of each dough ball generously with the beaten egg to enhance browning and shine. Then, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds over each piece.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the bagel bites turn golden brown and are puffed up.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy plain or with cream cheese, hummus, or turkey slices for added flavor and protein.
Notes
- These bagel bites are excellent for meal prep and store well in the refrigerator for several days.
- Reheat them in a toaster oven for best texture and taste.
- Pair with cream cheese, hummus, or turkey slices to boost protein intake and variety.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free baking blend and adjust baking powder accordingly.
