Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 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, everything bagel seasoning)
  • Nonstick spray or perforated parchment paper (for air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Spritz your air fryer basket with nonstick spray or line it with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Stir well until a ball of dough forms.
  3. Divide and Shape Dough: Place the dough on a floured surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  4. Form Bagels: Use your thumb to poke a hole in the center of each dough ball, then gently stretch and shape it into a bagel shape. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
  5. Arrange Bagels: Place the shaped bagels evenly in the prepared air fryer basket, making sure they have space between them.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Season: Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg to achieve a shiny finish. Sprinkle with your choice of bagel seasonings if desired.
  7. Air Fry the Bagels: Cook the bagels in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  8. Repeat: Remove cooked bagels and repeat the air frying process with any remaining dough if necessary.

Notes

  • You can use your preferred bagel seasoning or simply salt for a classic taste.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and omit the egg wash.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crisping.
  • If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
  • These bagels are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
