Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the FitFlour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt until fully combined.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and water. Stir with a spatula. The dough will look very shaggy, dry, and messy at this stage—this is completely normal.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rest for 10-15 minutes, or wrap the shaggy dough tightly in plastic wrap and rest in the fridge overnight. This allows the protein to hydrate.
  4. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth, then shape as desired and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden.

Notes

High Protein Greek Yogurt Dough Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE/MOUTHFEEL: Expect a substantial, chewy texture with a moist crumb. The rest period ensures it isn't rubbery or crumbly despite the high protein content.
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTION: Do not omit the water or reduce the salt. FitFlour requires that extra hydration, and the 6 grams of salt is essential to balance the tang of the Greek yogurt.
THE BETTER LATER RULE: This dough drastically improves with time. Wrapping the initially shaggy dough in plastic and leaving it in the fridge overnight will yield the smoothest, most pliable dough possible the next day.
PROFESSIONAL FINISHING TOUCH: If baking dinner rolls or bagels, brush the tops with a light egg wash before they go into the oven to give them a bakery-style golden shine.
