Ingredients

Scale

Standard Bagels

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (optional for extra fluffy bagels)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg (for the egg wash)
  • Optional toppings: Everything Bagel Seasoning, Sesame Seeds, Poppy Seeds

Gluten-Free Bagels

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg white, whisked until frothy (for the dough)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. For the gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and baking powder.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt and for the standard version, mix with a fork, hands, or spatula until dough is slightly crumbly but moist. For gluten-free, add the whisked egg white as well.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead into a smooth ball. Divide into 4 equal pieces.
  4. Shape the bagels: Roll each piece into a 5-6 inch long, 3/4 inch wide log and form into a circle, pinching the ends together to seal.
  5. Prepare the egg wash and toppings: For standard bagels, beat egg yolk with water and brush over the bagels; add toppings if desired. For gluten-free, toppings can be added similarly.
  6. Air fry the bagels: Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and spray the basket with olive oil. Place bagels in a single layer about 2 inches apart. Cook for 10 minutes until golden, checking at 8-9 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove bagels and cool 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Baking powder is optional but helps make the bagels fluffier.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is well sprayed to prevent sticking.
  • Check bagels early during cooking to avoid burning, as air fryer heating varies.
  • Use gluten-free flour and egg white for the gluten-free version.
  • Toppings like Everything Bagel seasoning enhance flavor but are optional.
  • Allow bagels to cool before slicing to maintain texture.
