# How to make it:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, protein powder, sugar, yeast, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - Add warm water and melted butter to dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Knead by hand or with a dough hook for 6 to 8 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
04 - Gently knead chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed throughout.
05 - Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 to 40 minutes or until nearly doubled in volume.
06 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
07 - Punch down dough and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and gently stretch to form a bagel shape.
08 - Bring 2 quarts water and honey or brown sugar to a gentle boil in a wide pot.
09 - Boil bagels in batches for 30 seconds per side, using a slotted spoon to transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
10 - Lightly brush the boiled bagels with melted butter.
11 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
12 - In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, milk, and maple syrup or honey until smooth and pourable.
13 - Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over cooled bagels before serving.
