02 - ¾ cup vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder
03 - 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
04 - 1¼ cups warm water
05 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - Stir in bread flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Add raisins and knead by hand or with a dough hook for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add extra flour if sticky.
04 - Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes until doubled in size.
05 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
06 - Punch down dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and stretch to form a bagel shape.
07 - Bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon honey to a gentle boil in a large pot.
08 - Carefully boil bagels in batches for 45 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
09 - Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
10 - Whisk Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bagels just before serving.
