Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg (beaten, for brushing)

Toppings

  • Sesame seeds, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly incorporated.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the Greek yogurt and olive oil, mixing thoroughly to form a dough.
  3. Knead the dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and uniform in texture.
  4. Rest the dough: Allow the dough to rest for a few minutes to relax the gluten, which makes shaping easier.
  5. Divide and shape bagels: Place the dough on a floured surface or parchment paper and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to form the traditional bagel shape.
  6. Prepare air fryer basket: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking and place the shaped bagels inside, ensuring they have space to expand.
  7. Brush and add toppings: Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg, then sprinkle sesame seeds over them as desired.
  8. Air fry the bagels: Cook in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool before serving: Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before enjoying.

Notes

  • The bagels can be customized with different toppings like poppy seeds, everything seasoning, or coarse salt.
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best texture and flavor.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, these bagels can be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking but confirm your air fryer model allows this safely.
  • Storage: Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
