# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • High in Protein: Each bagel contains 10 grams of protein thanks to the Greek yogurt, keeping you satisfied longer.
  • Quick and Easy: Ready in just 40 minutes with no yeast, proofing, or boiling required.
  • Simple Ingredients: Made with pantry staples you likely already have on hand.
  • Customizable: Adapt the seasoning or add your favorite toppings for endless variations.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Make a double batch and freeze for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
02 -
  • Measure Flour Correctly: Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level off with a knife to avoid dense bagels from too much flour.
  • Don't Overkneadd: Knead just until the dough is smooth—overworking can make the bagels tough.
  • Uniform Sizing: Use a kitchen scale to divide the dough into equal portions for evenly sized bagels that bake at the same rate.
  • Seal Well: When forming the bagel shape, overlap the ends by about an inch and pinch firmly to prevent them from separating during baking.
  • Check the Allergens: Be sure to check the everything bagel seasoning label to confirm allergen content, especially for sesame, poppy seeds, and potential cross-contamination.
