Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups high-protein flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, unsweetened
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus extra for topping
  • 1 medium jalapeño finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Boiling Water
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine high-protein flour, Greek yogurt, beaten egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeño until evenly distributed.
Shape the Bagels
  1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
Boil the Bagels
  1. In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add baking soda to the boiling water.
  2. Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove with a spatula and place on a baking sheet.
Bake the Bagels
  1. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese on top of each bagel. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
