how to make best protein bagel

Ingredients :

  • 120 g Dinkelmehl (Type 630)
  • 160 g Magerquark
  • 1 TL Backpulver (baking powder)
  • 0.5 TL Salz (salt)
  • Sesam & Mohn (sesame & poppy seeds for topping)

Directions :

  1. First, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (fan).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the Magerquark, Dinkelmehl, and Backpulver. Adjust the mixture by adding more Dinkelmehl or Magerquark as needed to form a dough.
  3. Divide the dough into equal parts and shape each part into a long snake with your hands.
  4. Connect the ends of each snake to form a ring. Leave the center hole a bit larger, as the bagels will expand in the oven.
  5. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle sesame and poppy seeds on top. You can press the seeds into the dough slightly to help them stick.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
