Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising?

Nope, and here's why—self-rising flour already has the perfect ratio of baking powder and salt mixed in. If you try swapping regular flour, you'll end up with sad, dense little dough pucks (trust me, I learned the hard way during my flour shortage panic of 2022!). In a pinch, you can make DIY self-rising flour by mixing 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.

Can I double this protein bagel recipe?

Absolutely! This is my meal prep secret—I always make at least double batches. Just divide your dough into 8 portions instead of 4. They might need 2-3 extra minutes in the oven since more bagels means more steam circulating. Pro tip from my kitchen: rotate your baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning if your oven heats unevenly like mine.

Are these gluten-free protein bagels?

Not as written—the self-rising flour contains gluten. BUT! I've had success swapping in gluten-free 1:1 baking flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt per cup. The texture changes slightly—they're more tender than chewy—but still delicious when you're craving that bagel fix without the gluten.

Why is my dough so sticky?

Ah, the ol' yogurt variability strikes again! Different brands have different thicknesses. If your dough sticks like bubblegum to a sidewalk, just wet your hands with cold water when handling it—instant fix! You can also sprinkle in a tablespoon more flour, but go slow—too much makes them tough. Remember: slightly sticky dough makes extra moist bagels!
