Description
Quick and easy air fryer bagels made with Greek yogurt and flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting work surface
- 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
- 11/2 teaspoon (5g) kosher salt
- 2 cups (480g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients Together: Start by mixing your dough ingredients in a bowl until they are well combined. You are looking for a dough that is slightly sticky but holds its shape. If it feels too dry, it might need a little extra moisture. Just be cautious not to overmix, or your bagels could end up tough.
- Shape Into Bagels: Form the dough into small rounds and then poke a hole through the center, creating that classic bagel shape. You want them to be evenly thick all around. If the holes close up during cooking, just give them another poke. Keep an eye on this step; if they are too thick, they will not cook through.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat to the desired temperature. This really helps the bagels cook evenly and get that nice golden color on the outside. You will start smelling a bit of warmth filling the kitchen, which is always a good sign. Just make sure it is fully preheated before you put your bagels in.
- Air Fry the Bagels: Place your bagels in the air fryer in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. This ensures all sides get that crispy finish you want. Keep an eye on them so they do not overcook; they should look golden brown when they are done. Do not cram them in, or some might not cook properly.
- Cool Before Serving: Once they are done, let the bagels cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. You will notice the steam escaping, which is a great sign of freshness. If you bite in too soon, they could be a bit doughy inside. Just patience here—trust the cooling process for the yummiest results!
Notes
- Storage Tips: Airtight container: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days; freeze for longer storage.
- Expert Tips: If bagels are turning out too dense, kneading the dough for a few extra minutes may help to achieve a lighter texture.
- When baking, make sure to check that your baking powder is not expired; fresh powder will help the bagels rise properly.
- For even cooking, arrange the bagels in a single layer in the air fryer; overcrowding can lead to uneven baking results.
- If you want to add toppings, apply them right before cooking for the best flavor and texture on your air fryer bagels.
