Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt using a fork until it forms a cohesive dough.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it becomes smooth and less sticky. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.
- Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log shape about 4-6 inches long and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Optionally brush each bagel with beaten egg white to achieve a golden crust and help toppings stick.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of toppings on top of the bagels.
- Air Fry the Bagels: Place the bagels in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches) and air fry at 350°F (180°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite spreads!
Useful Tips
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with different toppings like cheese, herbs, or even fruit like blueberries for a sweet variation.
- Storage: Store any leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or freeze them for longer storage.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with cream cheese, butter, or your favorite spreads for breakfast or as a snack.
