Can I make these high protein bagel bites without self-rising flour?

Yes! Mix 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt as a substitute.

Why is my dough too sticky to work with?

Greek yogurt brands vary in moisture content. Add flour one tablespoon at a time until the dough is tacky but manageable. Lightly flouring your hands also helps when shaping.

Can I add protein powder to boost the protein even more?

You can replace up to 1/4 cup of the flour with unflavored protein powder, but this may make the texture slightly denser. Stick with whey or casein for best results.

How do I make these dairy-free?

Use plant-based Greek yogurt and dairy-free cheese. Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit 5 minutes).

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Position the rack in the center of the oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, egg, shredded cheese, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms, about 1-2 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and roll each into a small ball.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. If using toppings, brush the tops with a little water and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm when gently pressed.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.

Notes

Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and richness. Low-fat works but may be slightly less tender.
Measure flour by spooning into the cup rather than scooping to avoid dense bagel bites.
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt, dairy-free cheese, and a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit 5 minutes).
These bagel bites freeze beautifully. Flash-freeze on a baking sheet, then store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
