Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Toppings (optional)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Bagel seasoning of choice (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning)
Instructions
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spritz your air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or line it with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Make Dough: Combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl. Stir well until the mixture forms a cohesive ball of dough.
- Shape Bagels: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Divide it into four equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Using your thumb, poke a hole through the center of each ball and stretch it gently to form a bagel shape.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the shaped bagels evenly spaced in the prepared air fryer basket.
- Apply Toppings: Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg for shine and sprinkle with your chosen bagel seasoning.
- Air Fry Bagels: Cook the bagels at 350°F (175°C) in the air fryer for 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Repeat: If necessary, repeat the process with any remaining bagels, preparing the basket each time as needed.
Notes
- Using self-rising flour means no additional leavening agents are needed.
- Greek yogurt provides moisture and a slight tang while keeping the bagels soft.
- Egg wash is optional but helps achieve a glossy, golden crust.
- Perforated parchment paper helps air circulate and keeps the bagels from sticking during air frying.
- Bagels are best eaten fresh but can be toasted the next day for a crispier texture.
