Ingredients
-
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt
-
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
-
Stir in the Greek yogurt using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a dough forms.
-
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes, until smooth.
-
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
-
Roll each piece into an 8–10 inch rope, then pinch the ends together to form a bagel shape.
-
Brush each bagel with beaten egg and sprinkle with your desired toppings.
-
Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
-
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
-
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture; thin yogurt can make the dough sticky.
-
If dough feels too wet, add 1–2 tablespoons of flour while kneading.
-
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer—cook in batches if needed.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
