High-proteinMethod in ProVegetarianFreezes well

Real bagels are boiled before baking, which gives them their chewy crust. This dough adds Greek yogurt and a scoop of whey to bread flour, so each bagel is more filling, and a thick skyr and chive schmear makes breakfast complete. They freeze perfectly.

Tips

Knead until the dough is smooth and springs back; bagel dough is firmer than bread dough.
Boil just 30 seconds a side for a thin, chewy crust.
