Ingredients

Scale

Bagel Dough

1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup Greek yogurt

Toppings (Optional)

1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Bagel seasoning of choice (e.g., sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds)

Instructions

Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Spritz the air fryer basket with a nonstick spray or line it with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir well until a ball of dough forms.
Divide and Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, divide it into four equal pieces, and roll each into a ball.
Form Bagels: Using your thumb, poke a hole through the center of each dough ball, then gently stretch and shape them into traditional bagel rings.
Arrange in Basket: Place the shaped bagels evenly spaced in the prepared air fryer basket.
Add Toppings: Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with your choice of bagel seasoning, if desired.
Air Fry: Cook the bagels in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
Repeat and Serve: If your air fryer basket is small, cook bagels in batches. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt of similar consistency.
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
Bagel seasoning can be customized to your preference or omitted altogether.
Egg wash is optional but helps achieve a shiny, golden crust.
