Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Air Fryer Greek Yogurt Bagels that are soft on the inside with a golden, crispy crust. Made with simple ingredients like Greek yogurt, flour, and baking powder, these bagels are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack without the need for boiling or baking in the oven.

Ingredients

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. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and salt.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add 1 1/4 cups Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and uniform, which helps develop a cohesive texture.
  4. Rest the dough: Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes. This step helps hydrate the flour and makes shaping easier.
  5. Divide dough and shape: Place the dough on parchment paper or a floured surface and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger and gently stretch to form a bagel shape with a large hole.
  6. Prepare air fryer basket: Place the shaped bagels in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper, ensuring they have enough space and are not touching.
  7. Brush and top: Brush the tops of each bagel with the beaten egg to promote browning and stickiness for the toppings. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top as desired.
  8. Air fry: Cook in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. Monitor for a golden brown color and ensure the bagels are fully cooked through by checking for firmness and slight browning.
  9. Cool and serve: Carefully remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving to allow the texture to set.

Notes

  • You can substitute sesame seeds with poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or omit toppings as preferred.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon more flour, but avoid over-flouring to keep bagels tender.
  • For a dairy-free version, try using a plant-based yogurt alternative, but results may vary.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
  • These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
