Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water at 110°F
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 quarts water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk, dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, protein powder, sugar, yeast, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add warm water and melted butter to the dry mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead by hand or with a dough hook for 6 to 8 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Gently knead in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm location for 30 to 40 minutes until nearly doubled in size.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, poke a hole in the center, and gently stretch to form a bagel shape with a 2-inch hole.
  8. Bring 2 quarts of water and honey or brown sugar to a gentle boil in a wide pot.
  9. Boil bagels in batches for 30 seconds per side, using a slotted spoon to transfer each bagel to the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Lightly brush the boiled bagels with melted butter.
  11. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  12. Whisk peanut butter, milk, and maple syrup or honey together in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
  13. Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over cooled bagels before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the water temperature for the yeast is around 110°F to help activate it.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk.
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
