# Cooking Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, protein powder, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, stir honey into warm water until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let sit for 5 minutes until slightly foamy.
03 - Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand or with a dough hook for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
04 - Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
05 - Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and gently stretch into a bagel shape.
06 - Place shaped bagels on a parchment-lined tray, cover lightly, and let rest for 10 minutes.
07 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
08 - Bring 2 quarts of water to a gentle boil in a large pot. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey.
09 - Boil bagels in batches, 1 minute per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and return to the tray.
10 - Bake bagels for 18–22 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
11 - Whisk Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl until light and fluffy.
12 - Serve cooled bagels with the fluffy yogurt dip.
