Easy Air Fryer Bagels
Description
This recipe calls for mixing all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and plain Greek yogurt to form a sticky dough. The dough is divided into four portions, each rolled into an 8-inch rope and shaped into a bagel by joining the ends. An egg wash made from beaten egg and water is brushed on to encourage crispness and browning.
The shaped bagels are cooked in the air fryer basket sprayed with non-stick spray at 350°F for about 10 minutes until they puff and develop a golden crust. This method bypasses boiling or long proofing typical in bagel recipes, saving time. Toppings like sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning can be applied after egg wash for added texture and flavor.
The bagels cool briefly after cooking and are best eaten fresh. The air fryer allows for a crusty exterior and soft interior, making a practical homemade bagel alternative without conventional oven baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup yogurt whole milk or non-fat, plain, Greek
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- sesame seeds coarse salt, everything bagel seasoning, etc. (optional, bagel topping
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt and mix well with a spatula until the mixture turns into a sticky dough. Form the dough into a ball.
- Cut the dough ball into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball out into an 8-inch long rope, then bring the edges together to form a bagel shape, pinching the ends of the dough together to close the circle.
- Lightly grease the bottom of the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the bagels into the basket, leaving about an inch of space between each. Note: if your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the bagels in two batches.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Lightly brush the egg wash over the top and sides of the bagels. Sprinkle toppings over the bagels.
- Air fry the bagels at 350F for 10 minutes until risen and golden brown.
- Remove the air fryer basket from the air fryer and allow the bagels to cool for 5 minutes. Remove the bagels, slice and serve warm, or cool completely then toast.
