Ingredients

Scale

Basic Dough

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1 large egg, beaten (for brushing)
  • Bagel seasoning of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Air Fryer: Spritz your air fryer basket with nonstick spray or line it with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly until a ball of dough forms, indicating the ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Shape Bagels: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Divide it into four equal portions and roll each piece into a round ball.
  4. Create Holes: Using your thumb, poke a hole through the center of each dough ball. Gently stretch and shape it to resemble a traditional bagel shape. Repeat this for all four dough pieces.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the shaped bagels in the prepared air fryer basket, making sure they have enough space to expand slightly without touching.
  6. Apply Toppings: Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg for a glossy finish. Sprinkle your chosen bagel seasoning evenly on top, if desired.
  7. Cook: Air fry the bagels at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
  8. Repeat if Needed: If your air fryer basket cannot fit all bagels at once, repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Notes

  • Using self-rising flour eliminates the need for added leavening agents like baking powder or yeast.
  • For a crispier exterior, increase air fry time by 1-2 minutes, checking frequently.
  • You can skip the egg wash for an egg-free option.
  • Try different toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
  • For best results, ensure that bagels are spaced well in the air fryer basket for even cooking.
