Ingredients
  

Bagel Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (optional) Gives a lighter, fluffier crumb
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Use about half amount if using table salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Full-fat gives the best texture
  • 1 large egg Separate yolk for wash; use egg white for gluten-free method
Toppings (optional)
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds Add toppings before air frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and mix with a fork, rubber spatula, or your hands until the dough is wet but still slightly crumbly.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead lightly until it comes together into a smooth ball (about 6–8 turns).
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 5–6 inch long log about 3/4 inch wide and form each log into a circle, pinching the ends together to seal.
Cooking
  1. In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk with a little water and brush the top and center hole of each bagel. For gluten-free, brush with whisked egg white.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and spray the basket with olive oil spray.
  3. Place bagels in a single layer about 2 inches apart and air fry for about 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Remove bagels and let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing and topping.
