Protein Date Bagels

1: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and preheat the oven to 375°F.

2: Mix flour, 0.25 cup protein powder, baking powder, and Greek yogurt in a large bowl until well combined.

3: If too sticky, add more protein powder one tablespoon at a time and set aside.

4: Pour boiling water over the dates and let soak for about 10 minutes.

5: Remove dates and blend them with about 1/8 cup of water until a paste-like consistency is achieved.

6: Take half of the dough mixture and mix in the date paste, using about 3/4 of it.

7: Add about 1/8 cup protein powder as needed if the dough becomes too sticky.

8: Roll out each dough piece on powdered parchment paper and cut into four pieces to form long rolls.

9: Twist each piece of dough to create a braided effect and repeat for all four bagels.

10: Brush with egg white and place in the oven for about 20 minutes until cooked through.
