Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cup (210 g) all purpose flour or use self-rising flour and omit baking powder
- ⅔ cup (180 g) Greek yogurt 5% or 2% fat percentage
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ to 1 tsp Kosher salt or sea salt, adjust to taste
- 1 egg or one egg white
- seeds of choice optional, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or preheat air fryer to 280°F (140°C).
- In a large bowl, combine all purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Add Greek yogurt, then quickly stir until it comes to form a dough (add more flour if it is sticky or more Greek yogurt if the dough is too dry).
- Transfer protein dough over a clean floured surface and knead to form a soft ball. Divide into 4 equal size pieces.
- One at a time, roll each piece of dough into a log about 15 cm (6 inches) in length and shape into a ring. Brush the surface of each bagel with egg or egg white wash, then sprinkle your favorite seeds on top.

How to bake protein bagels in air fryer
