  • 1/4 cup pea protein isolate
  • 1/4 cup fava bean protein
  • 1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 cups water (for boiling)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for boiling)

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • 1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes

Instructions

  1. Whisk all protein powders together in a small bowl.
  2. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cups of flour, vital wheat gluten, and protein mixture. Mix well.
  4. Add remaining flour, salt, and oil. Knead into a firm dough.
  5. Knead on floured surface for 10–12 minutes until elastic.
  6. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
  7. Punch down, divide into 8 pieces, shape into bagels, and let rise 30–45 minutes.
  8. Mix seasoning ingredients and set aside.
  9. Boil bagels 1–2 minutes per side in water with sugar and salt.
  10. Place on baking sheet, brush with water, and top with seasoning.
  11. Bake at 425°F for 22–25 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Cool on wire racks before serving.

Notes

  • Let dough rise longer due to high protein content.
  • Don’t over-knead; dough will be firmer than usual.
  • Store airtight up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Toast before serving for best texture.
